I got good news today, dr says cornea is healed enough i no longer have to keep it covered all time, just durinbg my sleep times, to keep it from drying out, I can control the amount of cream and drops as needed to moisten it, and he was satisfied with the progress,, we gho back next week to start inflateing the tissue expanders to stretch skin and muscles to give him length and amount needed to finish eye lids. i have noticable movement of my lids when i try to open and shut them now, and the existing tissue i s still very healthy and active. Was in good enough shape that he told the mrs frog she could take me to the mountains camping. soo dd getting long week end, we are pulling her out of school at noon friday and headed to our favorite lake,, am sposd to be packing tents and stuff as we speek, well as i typo anyway am taking a break i get to spend 2 days in hammock on lake shore Not sure i going to try the hike over to the waterfall in the park, bet its nice this year with the rain we've had,, but i bet i get some good pics Lake catherine here we come ...

I'm so glad you got good news! I hope you continue to get better. I read your story a few days ago and felt so bad for you. I had gotten lazy about buckling myself up, now I'm buckling up every time I get in the car. Thank you for encouraging me to do so.

Have a great time at the lake! I love the Hot Springs area. I'm also in Arkansas (NW corner). Enjoy your weekend.
