James

That is really good news. You deserve it, my friend.

I have a pal who works as a therapist in the St james Hospital in Newcastle/ He says, "therapy is about change".

I think he is probably right, but I hope nobody will tell him that I said so.

:lol:

That is enough to change. I hope all goes well, not only with your eyes but the other issues, too.
