Stage 2 Kidney Cancer and Cataracts

[Ernie]

Had both eyes done this last year and the cataract surgery went very well. Made a big difference. You will have to have a ride home. As for the liver I am with everyone else wishing you the best and expecting the same.

Sorry to hear about your kidney cancer Gene and hope you can enjoy your time to the max.

So far everyone has told me the same thing about cataract surgery. It’s comforting knowing that.

Best of luck, SH. You got this!

[Ernie]

You got this cataract surgery, mine took about 20 minutes after the prep and about 20 more before they were showing me the door. Best of luck.

Sorry to hear about your medical issues. I hope that things turn out better than currently diagnosed.

Being Friday, I hope the eye surgery went well Gene.

Thanks but the cancer isn’t the kiss of death that you might expect. Some cancers are fast growing and deadly. Kidney cancer is not.

I had my right cataract surgery today and it went well according to the doctor. I can’t really see clearly out of it yet but should within a few days. Part of the problem is I’m looking through a plastic protection lens that wasn’t designed to give good vision. My eye is still dilated and I’m adding drops to it which causes condensation on the inside of the protective cover.

I go back tomorrow for a vision test to be given the okay to drive again.

Sounds good Gene. Keep us posted.

I didn't have to wear a cover except to sleep for a couple of days. The dilation lasted several hours and I think I was dilated the next day for an examination so driving was a bit difficult. Had to keep up the steroid drops for a couple of weeks until the next examination. Glad you managed and you should find your vision in the right eye looks bluer and the left will appear yellowish. Hope you are pleasantly surprised by the eye test results.

Sir Henry -

It took only 3 or so days before my right eye vision was almost perfect and the left eye took a day or more but it too became almost perfect.

I betcha you will have the same results!

Sir Henry...Best of luck with your continuing recovery from your cataract surgery and your upcoming kidney cancer treatments, will say a prayer for your full and speedy recovery. Got to get yourself all taken care of so you can get back to the range for more shooting. May God bless you.

You hit it dead on about the blue/yellow. Also the contrast has increased. It’s been about 12 hours and the vision is still a bit blurry and I’m still very much dilated.

[Luv the lever]

Never quit! Anything is possible, good luck and fight!

Gene I wish you nothing but the best.

Gene, I can't say it any better than Al, so I won't.

Thank you for sharing it with all of your friends here.

Wishing and hoping for the best

Full speed ahead and don't look back.

When you feel bad just get a hold of your favorite rifle/pistol and hold it work the action. That seems to help the pain go away.

How did you know I’ve been fondling my firearms! I need to buy some safety glasses so when I can shoot I’m protected. I’m so tempted to walk outside and squeeze a trigger.

In the warmer weather I grab the steering wheel of my Mustang and go for it!

[cooperhawk]

Well Gene, how is the eye? Doo you see a major difference?
