Surgery is over and improvement has started however it is going slow. In addition to the cornea transplant the doc also added a layer of stem cells. These stem cells are used to strengthen and hopefully will make the cornea healthier. These stem cells will soon be absorbed into the cornea however due to the paralysis on that side of my face - making the blink reflex not as effective - rven tho the cornea will be protected a little bit longer it also means the blurriness will last a little longer. Oh well, I have already had to go through several months of waiting - what's a few more weeks, especially since it will help the cornea in the long run. I have been staying at my sister's since surgery but starting yesterday I am home during the day and spend the nite over there - and the Beaglebratz are with me. When I got ho,e the day after surgery, Shiloh stayed by my side almost constantly with Shasta close by. She has developed into quite a playmate with my sister's Westie, Beilie - my sister got some good pics of those two playing together and I will post them when I can. Ok, need to go for now - will be bak when I can and so will the
B-bratz.
