Fishing report for Bennett Spring State Park, brought to you by Weaver's Tackle Store

Sunday, July 29, 2007

Dear Friends,

We are happy to report that they were able to complete the surgery on the five retinal tears in Jerry's "good" eye this past Monday. He can see a little bit out of it now (hampered by "floaters" that the doctor says will be there a few more weeks), but his doctor believes there is a "good chance" that vision will be kept in that eye.

The next three months are the most critical period, according to the doctor, for the possibility of further tears, so for that time period, he will be monitored very closely and very frequently. "You and I are going to become best friends," is actually what the doctor said to him to give you a better idea of what we're talking about here.

Obviously, he is severely restricted at this time in terms of physical work. He is allowed to go to the store for an hour or two a day to "supervise" and to do light clerical work. As the eye heals, some of those restrictions will be lifted, of course, but for now, he will be making only short appearances at the store.

Until he is able to do more, we will be maintaining a lighter schedule at the store and plan to be open from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed on Sundays. As for resuming the Online Fishing Report, we will start it up again as soon as he is able to spend more time in the store, freeing Brenda up to write the reports again. Please bear with us on both scores. We appreciate your patience and understanding.

Many of you have asked about the other eye (in which he has no vision), and we can say at this point, that there are plans to see what might be done to it in the future, but that is months away. They must save the other eye first and make sure it is completely healed before they even think about what might possibly be done to the other eye.

It is impossible to say in words how grateful we are for all your offers of help, support, prayers (there are many prayer chains going, and we believe they're working!), e-mails, phone calls and cards. While we cannot respond individually at this time to your messages, please be assured that each and every one is being read to him. Some of you have asked for our mailing address, which is: 11388 Highway 64, Lebanon, MO 65536. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all you're doing.

We will keep you posted here with periodic updates on his condition. Thanks again for everything, and please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

'til next time,

Jerry & Brenda Miller
