Home Alone 2 - Feeling Better In Westbury

Just got back. As far as anyone knows, the op was a success, and Jan is pain-free and much more relaxed. They're keeping her in one more night to make sure, and I fetch her home tomorrow morning. Then begins the hard part--getting her to take it easy for however long the healing needs.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who sent good wishes and healing thoughts and prayers. Not to disparage the skills of the good people at the Bristol Eye Hospital, but I am sure they helped.

In other news, I have bought a dongle for the desktop up here, which meant I was able to catch up on the nyrond.co.uk emails--the laptop downstairs isn't set up for that account. This may actually mean I can see this machine on the network at long last! Connectivity!! Nya ha ha ha ha!!! It's mine I tell you!!!!

*ahem*

I think I need a cup of tea and then possibly bed. Thank you again, all.

Oh, I'm so glad to hear this. We were thinking about both of you on the way back this evening and hoping things were fine.

If I remember right, this is by way of preserving what sight Jan has rather than improving it, or is there a chance for both? Whatever, I'm glad there is no pain. Hugs to you both.

Preserving rather than improving. Sadly, what with the retinopathy and the laser treatment they used on it, that ship has sunk, unless something revolutionary, possibly involving stem cells, happens fairly soon. We are fighting a long defeat, and sooner or later we shall come to the toes...

But if it can be kept no worse than it was before this latest trouble, that will be good. Thank you for good thoughts. As I said, I'm sure they helped.

*hugs back*

Good news! (Will you be fit to put me up on the way home next weekend, or will Jan not be up to visitors?)

Well, we've got this party-cum-rehearsal thing scheduled, so we'd better be up to visitors, hadn't we? :)

Yes, of course. I would love to see you, and Jan would love to hear you.

I am very glad that all is going well!

(Also glad about your dongle ... um. But that's much less important.)

No tea due here, just bed.

That's excellent news. I hope she continues to do well.
