Some Really Good News
 

I got a text from RJ this morning He said the operation went well and he can see better already!! He's on his way back so hopefully he'll give us an update himself soon!!

Lovely to hear such good news and wishing you a speedy recovery hon!!

Good stuff! :up:

Awesome. made my morning

Fill me in.

Who's RJ and what happened?

RJ is Radiomaster who unfortunately was born with his testicles dangling from his forehead obscuring his vision.

:twisted: Say no to drugs kids :wtf:

Hurry up and get back to the office RJ.
The tea ain't gonna make itself you know :mrgreen:

Glad all went well :up:

That's great news! Wish him our best.

Excellent news. He must have been very worried with the risks of that particular operation.

Thanks guys! We've made it back to cologne. Everything went as good as it could have.
Wont be online a lot the next few weeks though, as it's still hard for me to read, especially on a screen. You cant believe how relieved I am!!

Great news, I'm glad to hear it went that well.

The bright side is at least he was born with them unlike me. :(

PS: Three cheers for RJ! Now lets drink beer! I'm 18!

RJ, I'm really pleased it all went well for you, here's hoping you have a speedy and pain free recovery x

Oh, and Bubbles, good job looking after him! x

have a tight schedule the next weeks btw, eyedrops every two hours, salve and a glue-on-eyepatch every night

Glad the op went well RJ. so happy or you and wish you all the best babe. xx

what they said

Goods news RJ! Hope the recovery builds on the initial improvement!!

Good news, RJ. Take it easy now!

Oh such relieving news, glad to hear it all went ok and all the best for a speedy recovery :-) xx

That's brilliant news Sir RJ and a massive relief i'm sure

been to the first check up this morning, apparently the recovery is going well. Conjunctiva is a little sore but that's about it. Doctors says full recovery will take about 8 weeks, unfortunately I wont be able to see properly until then as well.

dat ders excellent news, nice one

Glad everything is going well for you. Speedy recovery and bright future ahead of you. :-)

:twisted: Glad all is going well :up:

Hmmm... *thinks* If RJ's going to be able to see properly, does that mean we've got to tidy up the forum?

brilliant! really pleased it all went well, hope the improvement just keeps on getting better!!!

Great news RJ ... so glad things are going well!

Very good news...I am very happy...sorry so late...my broken back is driving me nuts!

went to the second weekly check up this morning.
The doctor says if he'd have to mark my status, he'd give it an A+. Apparently I went to one of the best surgeons around, as the state of my recovery today would usually take 3 to 4 months.
It's still a long way to go though. The eye is still very sore and I have to be very careful for the next 1-2 months.

My sight is improving daily. And since yesterday I'm able to spend more than just a few minutes in front of a computer or tv without being in pain or tears.

Fantastic news RJ, I'm really pleased for you x

Brilliant news hon i hope you carry on improving at this rate!!

I'm so glad to hear the great news. It does sound like you got the best surgeon. Take care, and carry on; the time will fly along - look how fast your second checkup came along.

well...
 

as I couldnt do a lot anyway, I just went to my hometown for a week. This morning I've been to another check up, and apparently everything looks great. Recovery is on a very good way 3 1/2 weeks after the op.
Also did the first proper vision test this morning. As of today I see about 10%, which is twice as much as before, with the option of an increase to about 20% within the next six months. Unfortunately though, they cant perscribe me proper glasses until everything healed up completely and the eyesight has stabilized (about 6 months), so until then reading will be a bit tricky.
I bought some cheap reading glasses for a few € though, theyre good enough to sit at the computer for a longer period of time. They should help me until I get the proper ones.

Next check up is in 4 months, so they're not so worried anymore.

:up:

Good stuff RJ, glad to hear things are better already.

That's absolutely brilliant news RJ. Well done. xx

Nice one RJ! Hope it all keeps going as well as it has so far.

:twisted: Good to hear all is going so well :up:

Really pleased for you RJ,at last things are starting to go well for you,

It's been about 6 weeks since the OP now and it looks like everything went well.
Went back to Bremen for the final check up on thursday, and, except for a minor infection the recovery was a complete success.
I'm off most of the subscribed medication and basically dont have to be too careful with reading and working anymore.

Sight has inproved drastically, the two major changes are (1) that I can walk through the streets again, without being afraid of crossing red lights or being run over by a car I dont notice until the last second and (2) that I can finally read books again.

Looks like the health troubles and constant up and down that started nearly exactly a year ago are finally over and done with.

Looking forward to the future and what's to come...

Good news! :up:

Awesome :cool:

:twisted: Being pushed under oncoming traffic is still a danger that RJ has to face every day. :mrgreen:
The price he pays for being him :p

Good news though mate :up:

This is absolutely fantastic!!! Very happy for you! Shouldn't have gone to Bremen though...I hope Betty didn't hit you too hard...lol

Great news RJ!

things sound really good RJ,so pleased for you

Fantastic news RJ, i am so glad you're doing well :-)
