Eye Surgery for my Dad

[stormdog]

So I haven't mentioned that my dad had eye surgery today, and will be back in Milwaukee for more tomorrow. His vision has been very bad of late, and they are replacing a lens in his remaining eye, which already had an artificial lens in it. I guess it had deteriorated? My mother knows the situation better; I should ask her to explain it again. Anyway, it should be pretty straightforward, and all went well today, but he's home, can't see, and is in pain, so I've been thinking of him.

(Back story; he has juvenile onset diabetes, and has been diabetic since his age was in single digits. Part of that means he has diabetic retinopathy which has resulted in the loss of one eye and problems in the other.)

I'm super-tired tonight, oddly enough. I think I'm going to hit the proverbial sack a bit early. G'night.
