Email from Don Reedy regarding his post-op appointment yesterday:<\/a><\/p>\n

Exhausted. <\/p>\n

But the news is good.<\/p>\n

The last operation was successful….so far. The scar tissue that was of such concern was eliminated. I have my next appointment one week from today, a milestone that should determine if we are “likely” to have scar tissue problems from this event. I must remain in the facedown position 12-14 hours a day, BUT THIS MEANS THAT I CAN NOW READ, WRITE AND BE PRODUCTIVE THE OTHER 10-12 HOURS!!! I am so very thankful. There is a good prognosis for vision to return, the quality of which is yet to be determined….and yet again, I am thankful and optimistic.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nothing’s ever over in the world of medicine. The good news comes in the form of fewer and fewer appointments.<\/p>\n

Don Reedy has a beautiful soul. He will never be robbed of the light of human goodness, regardless of how this turns out. And it takes nothing to note that our heroic battles against the relentless forces of entropy are but temporary, and, for now at least, are ultimately doomed to failure. But we are human, and to be human is to wish, to hope, to pray — and to press on regardless. In the end, what matters is not what you lose, but what you refuse<\/em> to lose.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
