100% Update: Stitches


This is Stitches ... not to be confused with the internal eye "stitches" that Dr. OcularDude ... who I found out is really an ocular plastic surgeon ... put in Dad's eye on Friday afternoon. I told you that the CyclopsSurgery was "probable" ... Well, that surgery is now official and it occurred Friday afternoon.

The right eye will remain stitched closed for a few months to allow the 6th and 7th nerve to heal. At that point, Dr. OcularDude and Dr. NewEyeGuy will determine whether Dad needs a cornea transplant.

Already, the surgery has "somewhat" lessened the pain in Dad's eye ... but it will take awhile to be pain free. Thanks for the prayers.
