<DIV>I had lazer surgery in early Jan. of this year to repair a similiar
problem in my right eye. Lots of floaters brought the problem to my
attention. About 90 % better after 10 weeks. Hope your recovery
is quick and complete.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>Thanks. It was pretty weird
stuff they did: evacuated the fluid from the eye, pushed the pieces from
the macular hole up against the back of my eye and filled the eye with
inert gas to hold the macula pieces there while it healed (shall I stop
now?). The eye has refilled itself about 3/4 with fluid so far.
I have a meniscus between the fluid and gas that I can see and it's
strange to watch it slosh as I move my head (OK, I'll
stop). Recovery from the surgery is supposed to take six to eight
weeks. I can't say that I'm thrilled with the result, almost five
weeks after the surgery. I may need to go through the surgery
again. </DIV>
<DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV>
<DIV>In the meantime, I will try to fly a foamy this week, after watching John
Fuqua flying his new Impact today. I think I could see his airplane well
enough with my good eye to fly it. </DIV>

<DIV>The only news I have is from Don Lowe, who called and ragged me about
not being there. He was competing in his first Pattern contest in
"forever" (his words). He said that he was pleased that he hadn't
crashed, but I! got no news on how the contest was going.</DIV>

<DIV>I explained that I hadn't recuperated yet from recent surgery to
repair a hole in the macula of my right eye. </DIV>
