Over the past couple of years I've had a total of 7 operational procedures mainly on the 'damaged' eye and have now achieved better than 20/20 but my ideal is 6/5 mainly as a testament to my surgeon.Good Luck with your retirement, I've never looked back since mine some 15 years ago.Dantheman          I tend to keep my opinions to myself as there are enough comedians on Birdforum already (dont Know how to insert a smilie), although there are many excellent contributers and thought-provoking threads to maintain my attention. Unlike you young uns I'm not too computer conversant and any mistake is soon 'jumped on'. To put it in context we didn't even have calculators when I was at school (log books & slide rules were used) hence my retinence to post (plus it makes my finger sore)If you can't see the avatar is a Shoebill (which are bl**dy huge I would suggest a visit to the opticians may be prudent (insert smilie) The Uganda trip cost far less in financial terms but over 8 hours trekkin in montane forest to see the big monkeys really took its toll (the head ranger at Bwindi searched me out next day and told me I was a very tough old man, which I assumed was a compliment).Dafi & Sancho             Thank you for the kind comments--it's not been easy over the past couple of years in respect of the eyes but the (almost) end product is really brilliant.Papa-- Who can't cut & paste quotes. insert smilies, find threadsand types with one finger (but doesn't have paltry British or World lists)(don't take offence dantheman--you can always add some of my excess birds to your list)</blockquote>
