You're a lucky man, musicman. Between all the religions on this forum, we've got you covered!!

Get yourself well--we'll miss you.

A mans gotta do what a mans gotta do

Wasn't this shahab.ali's plan FIRST ?!?

Musicman - good luck on Wednesday!  You'll be in our prayers.  If you or the family need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.  We are here for you! 

Be sure to have your wife type your messages for you while the bandages are on   or we will miss you terribly!

Hope everything goes well Musicman.

The surgery will be done at Al Hammadi Hospital in Olaya. I will probably be in there for 2 days only since its not a major procedure. Lets hope I can get back to blogging ASAP?
Thanks for all the good wishes and kind words. God Bless!

Oh my God! musicman said nothing about my visit

he probably is scared of u

I am wishing all the luck to be with you..

It will be great to see you after the surgery, you will have better vision on us.. till then...

Allie - whats the word on visitation and where is that hosp located?  Any idea?

500 meters from the Kingdom Tower..
On the opposite side of Olaya, 1 street behind..
Al Hammadi Hospital.. Yesterday I checked by Google Earth..

you will have better vision on us..

ooops. Should have met him before the surgery--I'd have looked more attractive

wat do u mean by 'MORE'????

i think musicman have gone thru the surgery.
hoping to hear from him soon

Thanks guys. Surgery went well on Wed. Back home yesterday. Was on pins till it was over and the bandages remnoved to see the light.

Unbelievably my vision is much more clearer and criosp now. I can see colors like never before, beautiful dark colors and tremendous contrasts too. Incredible.

Wont be getting back to work until Monday. Will be seeing the surgeon again on Sunday. Will have to get a new pair of gl;asses for reading since the old one will not do for the new lens.

The surgery is called PHACOEMULSIFICATION and can be viewed on Youtube. Its done under local anasthesia and I could hear and feel what they were doing. I could even see the instruments entering and moving inside my eye during the whole procedure. Simply amazing what the human brain has been able to achieve. Took about an hour with another 30 minutes for preparation.

The biggest trauma was surviving a full day without any sight. My wife stayed over with me at the hospital. God Bless her!

All in all it was very comfortable and easy except for the anxiety before and during the surgery.

Nonz, I didnt mean to ignore your visitation statement. You were always welcome. Everyone was but sadly I wouldt have been able to see you. Now that I can see better you gals better make sure you have your make up on all of the time.

Thanks again. God Bless.
