A Word of Thanks!

[MrObsessive]

Just a quick shout out to those of you who were so kind to send me PM's, and sending good thoughts my way with my recent vision difficulties. I want to say many thanks as I went back to work today for the first time in a month! It was good to be back, and some were actually rather surprised to see me as they thought I'd be out for much longer considering what was done.

My sight is near back to normal..........I'll say 90% of what it was just before I started having trouble. I still at times notice a "gray" area in my lower right peripheral vision, but I was told that the healing is a bit far from over, and folks I know at work who had this done told me they had the same thing for awhile. I also suspect I may need a prescription change at least for the right lens in my glasses as I don't see as clearly as before. Again, this is something the Doctor said may be the case, and it could be that in time this will clear up.

At least I can function again pretty much per normal, and since the Doctor lifted the 20 lbs weight restriction particularly after the surgery, I was even back in the gym today for the first time in over a month-------no heavy lifting though. Those days are pretty much over.

I got some time in yesterday for the first time in quite a while at my worktable trying to get more done on the BMW 850i, and hopefully by next week it'll be all done! 

So thanks again folks, your thoughts and prayers went a long way, and I really do appreciate it!

Really glad you're about fully functional again, Bill. You're kinda one of the icons of the hobby, and it's good to know you'll be continuing to show us all how it's done.

Happy to hear that you are well on your way back to your old self.

It's great to hear that you're pretty much "up and running" again Bill.  Hopefully you'll stay that way for a very long time.

Glad to hear the good news Bill. I always enjoyed work and my coworkers. Sounds like you do also.

Good to hear you're making such good progress. I think about you every time that stupid gray cloud floats across my right eye.

Good to hear, Bill.  Should have taken another week off work and done some building at home.

It's good to hear you're recovering well.

Now, if you're lucky, you'll get cataracts and get new lenses and throw your glasses away forever!
