ALL SCI-FI

[Gord Green]

Fearless Leader, Thank you for activating the links!

Not on vacation, but between my wife and myself the last few months has been too much time in and out of the hospital! (Things are basically OK, just getting old I guess.) Also, I get injections in my eye (Shiverrr!) making too many times I basically have trouble seeing anything!

You've had some eye trouble too, haven't you? Hope you're doing OK.

I hope to get my posting back up to snuff soon!

Hoping & praying that you and your wife are doing much better and don't have to have any more hospital trips. We've missed you. Stay well.

You have been sorely missed, Gord!

My right-eye injections for macular degeneration are not painful, believe it or not, and I only get them every six to eight weeks.

My vision is blurred for a few hours after each visit, but only because both eyes have been dilated.

Although the condition is slowly worsening, the injections slow the progression. But I figure I'll just drink lots of beer and not dwell on the future.

I told my doctor that Milwaukee's Best Ice malt liquor was my "anti-depressant" and my "tranquilizer" — with far fewer side effects than all the prescription drugs we see those happy commercials for on TV . . . you know, the ones that have the cheerful narrator list all the side effects at the end.

Boy, those side effects talk me right out of trying that stuff!

I wish I could say the injections were holding the macular degeneration at bay, but it's slowly getting worse. It makes it harder to read the text on my computer — which means I make even more typos on my posts than ever.

Ah, well . . . at least I've still got my hair and my dazzling good looks!

You are always in my prayers each day my hopeful agnostic.

I know I'm replying to years-old messages here, but I thought a few points were worth addressing.
