One Month Post Eye Surgery

Yesterday was John's one-month, post eye surgery appointment with Dr. Gable. The doctor said everything looks really good and is healing just as it should. He told John he didn't have to wear the eye shield to sleep in anymore. He said it starts really red and raw-looking, then gets better, then gets red again and then again gets better. He said he had dissolvable stitches in the eye and those should all be gone by next month. He said John's surgery was the first he had ever done where he used absolutely no anesthesia. Wow! Who knew? I guess John feels nothing at all. John said he wished he had known that and he would have messed with the doctor and said, "Ow!" in the middle of the surgery. Anyway, he is to continue using the steroid eye ointment and doesn't have to see Dr. Gable again until next month. Again, we are so grateful for all that God has done and continues to do. God bless you all for continuing to be supportive and caring.

Love,

John and Cathy
