I wanted to thank each and every one here on SOS who've sent me messages of support during this recent difficult time that DH and I have been through. You know who you are, so I won't emabarrass you by typing out your names.

I'd also like to say sorry that I haven't been around, and update you all about what's been happening with me since DH had his bilateral knee replacement operation 2 weeks ago.

He got out of hospital last Tuesday, and has been struggling along at home ever since. He's not doing too bad 'knee wise" although he still has severe pain at times. He's been doing all of his allocated physio exercises and he's even walking on crutches now.

With all that's happening, we're both rather tired out... and by early afternoon we're both so exhausted that we've been resorting to afternoon naps. DH isn't sleeping all that well at night yet, which means that I'm not either.

There has been several complications of this surgery, and the latest one is that hubby can't see! Since the knee surgery he's had both blurred vision and double vision, and that's been a big worry to both of us. Before the operation he was blind in one eye, so to lose the vision out of his only good eye has been rather devastating to us both.

I took him to our local doctor yesterday and she got him an urgent appointment with an eye specialist yesterday afternoon. After checking out DH's eyes, the eye specialist said that DH has had a small stoke that's affecting his vision.

This is his second stroke, so DH is rather apprehensive about the outcome especially seeing his father died from a stroke after having a similar operation.

Hopefully his vision will recover over time, but even so, it's been just another thing we have to worry about. In the meantime we have appointments made for him to see an eye physiotherapist in a bid to try an strenghten his eye muscles, and followup appointments with this eye doctor.

Please pray for him. and wish us both the best of luck.
