    Given the fact that 1-2% possibility of late onset blindness WHY WHY WHY is it that luck has it that the mask (?) is making K have a fuzzy eye for about 3/4 of an hour after it is removed.

    Ken had his first RT today.

    A big talk with the big cheeses before helped him feel better. The fact that the surgeon will make sure that he will be able to breath through his nose somewhere at the end of this was a relief to him.

    We were assured that nobody at Mount Vernon had lost their sight through this RT so that is a good thought.

    In my ignorance I thought it would be a good idea to get someone to talk to my husband about how they had got over their RT and got on with their life. How wrong could I have been. He and his wife came over and - as if we weren't scared enough - they have made us so bad. I have been doing quite well but even I have a "hurt" between my ribs now and as for my dear sweet sensitive husband... he says he can't go through it…
