The 'Eyes' have it...

Just in case there is one human who reads this, Jeff is doing okay after his surgery yesterday. As usual for Jeff, it's never as easy as it seems and this one was practically as crummy as his original evisceration eight years ago. But the hard part is done anyway, and he now has a fancy new dermal-fat graft from his tummy inside his empty eyeball. Yummy, huh? The surgery ended up being longer and more difficult than originally planned. Apparently the old implant in his eyeball (made of a material that was rough-surfaced) had not only eroded away the tissue that enclosed it, but it was stuck to the tissue in other areas. So getting the old implant out was tough and bloody. His head is sore and swollen. But the Docs thought everything went really well and he's on his way now. His eye will be sewn shut awhile and in a few weeks we'll worry about getting his prosthesis in. The old one probably won't work but it could. He also needs some work on his eyelid. He's a brave and good man, he is. He never complains or whines about it. And most of us would be tired of people staring, and never looking the same, or like ourselves. Jeff just goes with it. Deo Gratias.
