As many of you know our dear Iceskater, had a retina detachment. She emailed me this morning saying that her surgery is scheduled for today.
Please keep her in your prayers.

i got a note also and she said she will have to FACE DOWN FOR TWO SOLID WEEKS, and when she could, she would post on here again.
thanks can't for posting since i was gone today..
skater needs a miracle that she will be able to get back the eyesight in this one eye.
can't, do you know for sure if it is THIS EYE that she lost all the use of?? i don't know either. Betty Posted by cantgiveupyet (Member # 8165) on :

Iceskater, may your prayers be answered with this surgery. I hope and pray your eyes are as good as new after your recovery time.
I hope you have yourself set-up for great care. Might needs some extra meds to give you the patience to endure this two weeks of recovery. And patience, my dear.
Take care of you!

Any word on how she is doing?? Praying that things went well!!
Posted by cantgiveupyet (Member # 8165) on :
I spoke to her this afternoon. She is in pain , and eye swollen, but had her post-op appointment and could actually see the light when the Dr shined it into her eye. :-)
She couldnt talk long because she had to go back and lay face down.
Keep the well wishes coming for her speady recovery :-)

can't, god bless you for calling her today; i was going to but thought to just let her rest comfortably.
WONDERFUL...she can see light in that eye! hoping this continues with the miracle of regaining 100% of her eyesight back!!!
got to sit down tomorrow and get my get well card off to her in Delaware...
thanks for posting the good news! whoopie! Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
can't, any more news on skater?
shame on me, i was going to sit down promptly and send her SNAIL get well card, and still haven't done it. i'm paddling myself..
skater, you've been in my prayers nightly that you will regain ALL the use of your eyesight back.
you are such a special, thoughtful friend ... sending various all occasion cards, mystery packages, and even yule logs, yummy!!
i'll get it ready tomorrow, and mail MONDAY when i go to the drs. to give blood for this wks. checkup how i'm doing... i promise you! Posted by cantgiveupyet (Member # 8165) on :
I havent heard anything. Last I spoke to her she said she would update me daily, but Im thinking that she is probably just resting face down.
I worked with a guy who had this surgery, and he had to lay on his couch most of the time.
Dont feel bad Betty- i also have been to ill to run to the post office.
I did make it out today for blood work, and was able to mail something off to her. Posted by bettyg (Member # 6147) on :
cant, i'm patting myself on my back! I got Sandi's get well card written on and MAILED AT HOME since i'm so sick with bronchitus cold i had to cancel 2 drs. appts. this week.
thanks for the update. this way her cards are spaced out and daily she hears from her friends!!
good luck to you on feeling better too! Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :
Would someone PM her address to me?? Thanks!
Posted by cantgiveupyet (Member # 8165) on :
I spoke to Sandi today, she sounds better.
She can sit upright now, and has to do so even while sleeping for the next few nights. She went to the dr yesterday, and the retena is still attached.
This is a good sign and she was able to still detect light. There is still a lot of healing to do in the eye and it is still quite bruised.
Please continue to keep her in your prayers.

Posted by Lymetoo (Member # 743) on :

yippee! sandi called me today after she got my card and $$ gift!
she now can sit up for 3 days; and looking forward to this weekend to go get some new baby kitties and eating Chinese out!!
she's very optimistic; blurred vision and iwll be that way for awhile, but she is thankful for any eyesight she gets back! Posted by iceskater (Member # 8655) on :
Just wanted to thank everyone for thoughts and prayers. Surgery took a lot out of me. I can see light in the eye now but it is very blurry and not in focus. Thanks to all again!!!!!
