    Our Trip out east has been Postponed

    Well, we were supposed to arrive in Ma. two weeks from today, but due to an unscheduled surgery on my eye we are going to have to bump it back a while. I want to thank all that were going to give up their time to meet up with us.
    Maybe we can try for some time late April or May.
    I hope to be posting finds again real soon!!

    Thanks guys. I had surgery on Tuesday for a detetched retina. I have to stay face to the floor for 10-14 days. I'm only on day 4. Talk about being bored!!!!
    The doctor said if all goes well I can probably go in 4-6 weeks. Hope to see you then!

    Should get you set up the right way. Put you on one of those massage tables with the hole for your face. Strap on some VR goggles, ear buds in, and remote in hand. You would be set for however much time you needed!

    I wish you speedy recovery Don! For those who don't know how they fixed Don's retina they stuck a needle in his eye and removed all the gel. They then inflated his eye with a gas (like a balloon) to push the detached retina back into place!
