We can only wish. Those three were great to have in our company.

In a heat treating converstiaon with Howard, I asked about the meet. It's doubtful. He is behind on orders, had a few weeks of sickness, and the such. He said doubtful, but would not rule it completely out.

Charlie,

Best wishes and a speedy recovery.
All you should have to do is open the shop anyway!

Pete <:-}

Heal up quickly Charlie, hope the x-ray vision is a success!

Lynn told me he is not coming, and Mike Blue has a couple of issues he has to deal with shortly before the meet that make me doubt he will be there. But I'll ask him to be sure.

Charlie, that stinks about the eye surgery, do you have to rest both eyes for the next 8 weeks so one doesn't damage the other? or can you keep busy studying and planning all the stuff you will do after it heals with the good one?

either way, I hope it heals quickly and without complications.

Charlie, I heal fast and look after your lookers. For as important as they are they are kind of delicate.

One eye is just fine, after the the first week or so I can do whatever I feel like.

They drained the fluid out of the eye they worked on and filled it with gas, depending on what gas they use determines how long until the eye replaces the fluid and dissipates the gas. The gas they filled mine with is supposed to stay in there for about 8wks. The gas in the eye makes for crappy vision until it is gone.

It is a mundane normal procedure, I am probably making mountains out of molehills.

Maybe I am just being a whiney ass, this is all new to me, and I was stressed about the meet and the unknown.

I normally do not like putting personal information on the forums, but I thought that it might have an effect on the meet.

It will all work out.

I am done with whining now,

Which eye is it? Maybe you can pair up with Tc.

I'm sure if I was to have a doctor tell me that they were going to drain the fluid out of my eye and replace it with gas, id freak out also, at least a little bit, or maybe more than a little bit.

on one hand that sounds like not such a good time, but on the other hand, the idea that they can do that sort of thing, and that they consider it pretty mundane is pretty amazing.
