Buckdog Books Off 'Sick' For Awhile

This will be short. Over the last few days, I have been having trouble with one of my eyes followed by a rapid loss of vision since yesterday. This morning I received the bad news that I have a Retinal detachment and risk losing sight in the eye without immediate surgery. I have just now finished surgery and am trying my best to use this keyboard with a bandaged eye and some fair pain and discomfort.

Since I have to lay prone for the next number of days while I heal, there will be no blogging from me until I get this all behind me.

Happy New Years to all of the readers of this blog. Take care, and have a happy new year.

Till later......

Take care.

That is major painful and some good radio or audiobooks are the best for lying down.

See ya when you get back.

What a very sad situation, Buckdog.

Take all the time necessary to recover.

I'll miss you during your recovery.

Be strong, come back well and whole.

Good gravy! I had a similar injury to the eye years ago. Make sure to follow your doc's advice and be sure to relax a whole lot. No need to stress yourself right now at all.

Hope you get better Bucko.

See? your Saskatchewanian eyes finally bugged so much out of your head over the politics, something popped. Same thing happened to my dad, a Sasky NDPer.

Get well.
