    good news!!!!

    Well as you know i had an ischemic stroke left side and of coarse because it was left sidestroke i had what was called a vienal occlusion, in other wise i couldn"t see out of my left eye and so i thought that i would be permantly blind. However the good news is that after seeing an eye specialist i found out that in fact i have cateracts so i am scheduled to have cateract surgery done on me march 17th and i was told that the surgery that i will have will give me phrepial vision in my left eye. So now not only am i recovered from my stroke i will be able to see . That to me is very good news. Well just wanted to let you know that , i miss not being on stroke net and i miss chat room , hope to see you soon lenny
