Title unknown

Well another week has gone by. It's been a bit of a slow week, as there has been no improvement yet with my blurry vision. Since I last posted my vision gradually got worse until Wed. and since then its been about the same.I went to the doctor yesterday and we came to the conclusion that it wasn't the Lyrica causing the problem. So now we've moved on to the next most likely culprit.
So far there has been no positive results. I would appreciate your prayers in this area as its very frustrating for me to not be able to see or read. Due to the messing around of my drugs, my pain has been a little worse than normal, but for the most part, its under control, as long as I'm not doing anything too active or sitting.
Not too many new things have happened in physio. Today I did go for a fairly long walk around the Sports Centre with Davis, my physiotherapist, giving me some tips on my technique that made me feel a little less stable. However, its a more natural walking position. He also had me walking with one crutch which nearly saw me on my backside. I did manage to get it figured out a bit, but I have to take very small careful steps. Some good news .... I am now going to physio five days a week as of Wed. the 6th. Hopefully that will help my progress.
Well, that's all for now folks.

Hi Robert. Larry K here. The solution to the vision problem is likely something simple, the only thing is finding out what it is. Once you know, you know and you think why didn't I think of that sooner or why didn't they think of that sooner. It's only simple once it's been figured uout. The thought that comes to me is, "It's all about the journey." Perhaps you already know this, God only knows I've only just started to realize this and I'm 54! Lord I pray you strengthen Robert and give everyone involved in his recovery your wisdom to find a solution to the vision problem. Strip away all the distractions and give the doctors insight as to whats going on. Be with his family and help them all to know they are continually in our thoughts and prayers. AMEN

Hi Chris and Robert!

Thanks so much for keeping up with the blog. It is now Jan.13 and I am curious how well you are seeing? I suffer with headaches that begin with blurring my vision so I have a smig of idea of the annoyance it can be. I am praying for you and will continue. It is a great joy to hear how easily, with hindsites perspective of course, that you and your family continue to roll along in the shelter and palm of GOD's merciful hands of love. Peace upon you and your family one day at a time.

Robert:Keep on trucking.We are thinking about you and praying for you. You have to make it up in the summer for Keyela wedding respection/shop ribbon cutting. Not sure of date yet. She is getting married April 25 out at Camp Sagitawa where they met last summer so for church friends we'll throw a double party during the summer sometime. We'll keep you posted.
"Lord open mine eyes that i may see glimpes of truth Thou hast for me; Place in my hands the wonderful key, That shall unclasp and set me free.
Silently now I waith for Thee, Ready my God Thy will to see, Open my eyes illumine me, Spirit divine" Lord we claim the words fo this old hymn for Robert. Bring he sight back to 100% Lord Jesus!!
Amen JC
