A Light At The End Of The ORN Tunnel

We got some encouraging news from the oral surgeon last week.  The pain and swelling in my jaw has gone down with the antibiotics, and he sees some signs that the area is starting to heal.  Still a long way to go with the healing, but for the first time he says I am not an impending candidate for jaw replacement surgery. 

And if that is the metaphorical light at the end of the tunnel, I can actually SEE that light now!  I had my second cataract surgery last week and that went well.  So, I've gone from legally blind to 20/20 in both eyes in less than a month.

Terry and I are very thankful for these positive developments and for coming out of a long period of uncertainty with such good news. 

As always, our thanks go to Team Mike for your good vibes in whatever form you have sent them in the past year while we dealt with these side effects.  Take a well-earned break, and hopefully you won't be called back into action any time soon.

Mike and Terry
