I am well after surgery, thanks for calls

[Kirk Freeman]

Thank you to the INGO members who have called to check up on me after my surgery December 5th to my left eye.

The doc says everything looks excellent and now I have to keep taking antibiotics and smear ointment in my eyeball to fight infection. My eyeball is bright red but the swelling of the eyelid is much reduced. Vision is returning slowly but could take a while especially if he makes he wear bandage contact lens (they sew it on).

No water in eye (I tape a corner of a sanwhich bag, like how you package crack, to my eye when I shower), no shooting for a while, no yoga, no exercise (I can walk but not jog or run), no head below waist and no Three Stooges eye poking reenactments with rhino downtown.

I go back to Indy next week and then next month.

Thanks for checking on grumpy Uncle Kirk.

Glad you are OK. Praying for a speedy recovery!

Hope your recovery goes well. I shudder at the thought of eye surgery, would not even let the Docs put dilation drops in my eyes until recently. Bad experience when I was in my teens. Don't know if I could let a Doc mess with a sharp instrument near my eyes, I'm too chicken! Your a better man than Me!

 

[Expat]

Why wasn't I informed of this

Seriously Godspeed on your way to full recovery.

 

[Hoosierdood]

Glad you're doing well. Mind telling us what happened?

My guess is that he was coonfingering it...

I wasn't aware that you were having surgery, but I'm glad you are doing well.

 

[HandK]

Wow Glad to hear your doing better! Prayers sent for a speedy and full recovery!!

 

[hoosierdoc]

Glad you're Doing well. We take eyes for granted, and high functioning people like lawyers don't like being laid up.

 

[DaveL]

I was really glad to read this Kirk ... since I'm having eye surgery in Indy on the 15th. All good wishes for your perfect recovery.

 

[SideArmed]

Good luck in your recovery.

Perhaps had you had a sand barrel to safety check your firearm into this wouldn't have happened.

Good luck in your recovery.

Perhaps had you had a sand barrel to safety check your firearm into this wouldn't have happened.

That was the problem: sand blowback...

 

[mrjarrell]

Glad to hear you're doing OK. Hope it all works out well.

 

[lrahm]

I wasn't aware that you were having surgery, but I'm glad you are doing well.

Me neither. Hope you get well soon.

Glad to hear it went well. Speedy recovery, sir!

(I'll pass on the the word to cousin Cledus (and Jenny) in Alabama.)

 

[Fishersjohn48]

Glad you are doing better and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Thanks to all.

Dr. Price of Price Vision Group was my surgeon. Entire procedure 4 hours from walking in to shuffling out.

Best part of having your eye cut on (even better than the drugs they gave me, at least for me) is all the sushi I got at Kona Jack's afterward.

Painful the first couple of days but:

1. I'm a boy, that's my job.
2. Don't tell people you hurt, most think you have it coming.
3. Pain is necessary to accomplish stuff.

I just hope my house does not get raided and I have to explain all these zip lock bags with the corners cut off.

You say Jen-ny after you say Alabama (Jen-ny). Even a pirate looking guy knows that.
