I spoke to Dave and his surgeon last night - they did not use any anesthesia, only local, so he was very coherent. Surgery went very well. They did not remove the cataract, and were able to use a gas bubble, rather than the more complicated silicon method, to stabilize the retina post-surgery. Like his last surgery, this one requires him to be in a certain position for the next 5-10 days. He is on his stomach with his head turned to the right - this will keep the bubble pushing against the place where the retina was reattached and hopefully hold everything in place. I also spoke with him this morning, and he is in good spirits and doing well.
Taylor and I are hanging in there. We had a terrible thunderstorm here last night, and our power went out. Usually, the generator kicks right in and there is no problem - last night, of course, that did not happen, and as of this moment, still no power. Taylor, Zeta and I all piled in the bed together and the storm continued for quite some time. I'm sporting a new hairdo today, which thankfully, no one has commented on. We forget how much we rely on hairdryers, etc. Keep all of us in your prayers.
I will post more later,
Cindy

Wonderful news about Dave. So he will remain in London for several more days? Will he be able to fly back? Tell him I said get well soon.
Hope your power come back. Meanwhile use your Katrina skills.
Cade's birthday is today. We just returned from hitting golf balls at LeFluer's Bluff golf course. It is 88 degrees, hottest day of the year so far.
Rip and Emmye are spending the night with us tonight on their way to Destin.
Keep us posted and take care.
Robert,
Tell Cade happy birthday from all of us. We do now have power again. The lightning came so close to the generator that it tripped the GFI circuit and shut it down. So, no worries there. I've hired a great young lady to take care of Taylor in the afternoon. Violeta is 28 and is a teacher of the pre-K students at Taylor's school.
I'll post Dave's update on the blog portion -
Cindy
