Loren
« on: February 14, 2017, 11:58:47 AM »
Everyone,

Loren recently had cataract surgeries on both eyes. Unfortunately, as a result of the surgery, he developed a detached retina in his left eye. As this is being typed he is undergoing surgery to repair it. His wife Roxy will provide an update later, but Loren will be unable to be active on the site for the near future.

I'm sure all of us will be wishing for his complete and speedy recovery.

Dear Dan, Mark, and members of the 65GS.com community,

So sorry to hear about Loren's complication from his cataract surgery.  I do hope that the surgery to reattach his retina goes smoothly and without incident.

Thanks Dan for keeping us informed about this.

from Roxy - Loren's wife.  Loren is home now.  He will be spending quite a few weeks face down for the surgery to heal.  He has a followup with the doctor tomorrow morning and we will find out more about recovery times and when he will be able to read the forum and emails again  In the mean time I will monitor this thread, his private messages and emails, and read them to him.  Thank you all for the well wishes, I know it means a lot to him.   :wave:
