Update on my dad, Carter
Feb 27, 2012 in Uncategorized
Hi all,
As you all know, my dad had a stroke following his back surgery and birthday. Funny how things come in threes. Anyway – GOOD NEWS!!!! My dad has been given the green light to drive again. The vision is basically gone on the right sides of both eyes but as long as his pays attention, he can drive. The doctor mapped out the blind spots on his eyes so that he knows where they are. Dad says that things look all funny to the right but that he can see. And, best of all, his eyes can continue to improve for up to a year. Also, now that he is off of morphine for his back pain, his brain has clicked back on again. Phew. Almost as good as new.
Dad – I love you and I really happy that you can get out and about again. Just thought that other people that read the blog might want to know that you are doing ok.
