To all of my friends and those on the llist who have prayed for me and who have openly given me their support, I thank you. those in family research/genealogy namely the NC Roots. the doctor has given a geat diagnosis. Yes, the retna may detach but for the time being it is alright. What happend is that the vitious humor was leaking into the macula and thus the retna and caused the lightening flashes which so alarmed me. That he says will resolve itself. I can continue my research but to watch for the warnng sighs which he listed for me. I do not have galucome and for that I am grateful. I do hope that this message does not offend anyone I am just so grateful for the support olf my friends. So the following prayer is for al of you. God bless your research and grant you increase in knowledge and yes, of understanding.
