Let me tell you that modern medicine really does wonders. Had I not gone to that emergency room, I'd probably still be blind on my right eye. As it came to be the swelling went down to the point where I could see well enought o take off yesterday at 10:30 am to arrive in Missouri in the later afternoon. I'm now in Hannibal in a very nice campground with friends from Columbia. Went to see the caves today where Huck and Betty cavorted inn Twain's books. It's all real life here as these characters sort of really existed and as Samuel Clemens experienced life here. Tomorrow where off to see the Twain museum and his house etc etc I still have this huge bag under my eye but my sight is normal again. Quite a relief as I can see what I type. Fred
