I am happy to say that Arlene's eye is still healing!! She has double vision yet, but it is getting better. She will be going for an appointment a the Anwar clinic tomorrow.  As soon as it has healed enough, they will remove the catarac and fit her for new glasses. Needles to say, she is looking forward to reaching that point. It has been a long haul.

When she reached the point that she did not need constant care, I started some long overdue repairs on the house. I worked on it for about a month, some day's longer than I should have for my age I guess. To make a long story short, about 3 weeks ago I had a stroke. They say I had 2 strokes, one in my vision center, and one in the forepart of my brain. The stroke in my vision center nearly blinded me at first. After 24 hours or so I had vision in the left side of both eye's. I am recovering slowly the vision in the right side a little more each day. As far as my memory is concerned, it is pretty much intact, except for my medical info, and that seems to be inproving also. It came without warning, I was feeling fine one moment, and then a blinding headache the next, with real blindness. Take care of youself, stop smoking if you can, eat well and enjoy life as much as you can, you never know!!!

Not long ago, I cant remember when, I bought a new Fostex MR8 HD digital recorder. It workes great and I can still play music. If all go's well, I hope to be posting some new tunes to I-Sound over the winter.

Take care and be happy--- merce ----
