The latest news about my Dad

Things did not go well with my Dad’s latest operation. According to the doctor, the blood vessels in his right eye are all dead and the eye is useless. They’re going to take a look at the left eye and see if there’s anything that can be done to improve it.

Some background – His left eye had a broken blood vessel in it that was repaired with laser surgery about ten years ago. He can see out of it, but there’s a dead spot and the vision is blurry. Reading is almost impossible and television is a blur. Hopefully, they might be able to improve the eye enough so that his vision is good enough to read.

Its surprising that a man who spend three years with the Marines in World War II bombing the Japanese in the Pacific and thirty-three years as a city firefighter, all with virtually no serious injuries, gets hammered with such a serious case.

Updates as they occur.
