Well, I am fine, my eye not so good. They closed a horizontal laceration across the whole cornea and a vertical one ont the upper half. Saw the docs before headed home today. On ultrasound it looks like there may be some damage to the retina. If all works out in a few months or so they might do a corneal transplant and tack the retina back down where it has detached. If they csn do that I should have vision back in my left eye. So overall, I am doing well and know that it is all in the hands of my doctors and the Lord. Cheers

Good morning Col Burroughs and all of my brothers and sisters here on VFV. I am glad that I have made time for the Lord. Life can throw some pretty wicked things at you, so it is always best to have taken time for the Lord when those unexpected bad moments happen in life, because He will be there for you. Have a blessed day today and always.

Effective leadership isn't making people do things.....It's making them want to do things!
