Absence/surgery

Alexander Turcic · 01-23-2005, 08:01 AM

The bad news. I have an eye surgery coming up this week and won't be online for some time.

The good news. You will probably not even notice my absence thanks to the amazing Mobileread editor team. If anyone of you needs help, count on them!

Laurens · 01-23-2005, 08:08 AM

I wish you all the best and a speedy recovery!

Bob Russell · 01-23-2005, 11:27 AM

Best wishes for successful surgery and speedy recovery. I'm sure we'll see you back here in no time!

Harpgliss · 01-23-2005, 12:45 PM

Hi,

I can't say much more than was said already but hope you make a speedy recovery and we'll keep the light on for you(the light thing is from a commercial here in the U.S. for those who live elsewhere).

The same, Alexander: all the best, a speedy recovery and nice nurses everywhere!

brahamt · 01-23-2005, 06:53 PM

Good luck on the surgery. You know you have our warmest wishes.

cbarnett · 01-23-2005, 07:12 PM

Good luck, Alexander! I'm sure you'll be up and running at full speed again before long

Best regards,
Craig.

While they're in there, however, maybe you could beta test some of that inside-the-eye technology like computer displays on the inside of the corneas or that move-the-cursor-with-your-eye or something ala "The Six-Million Dollar Man."

Hope to see you soon.

Hello Alex:

Best wishes to a speedy recovery, sir!

That means NO playing around with the computer while you're recovering!

Yeah, right!

Jorgen · 01-25-2005, 11:24 AM

The very best of luck and with the hope of a speedy recovery!

How many fingers am I holding up? Oh it doesn't matter because you know we'll just say you're wrong

. But that's the kind of mean thing that friends do out of fun and you have lots of friends here Alexander.

Good luck and hurry back. I hope you stocked up on audiobooks to listen to while your eyes recover!

Take care and talk to you soon.

I hope everything goes well with your surgery.

Alexander Turcic · 01-26-2005, 03:09 PM

Thank you so much everyone!!!

I was suffering from amotio retinae - the beginning detachment of the retina in my left eye, originally caused by a small hole in the retina.

Although I am not feeling so superb yet, the surgery went very well yesterday.

I am really grateful for all your thoughtfulness and good health wishes! Thank you!
