Hi all,
I have been asked to give an update, since I actually have some news to give.
Today was my first day back at work, albeit only a half day. I will be working half days this week, and I hope to be back up to full time next week. This has been a long five weeks to be stuck at home, under orders to maintain very limited movement, and finally being able to move around and start driving again (don't worry - I only drive on the sidewalks) was a great relief.
The impact of the airbag caused alot of bleeding in the front and the back of my eyes. The right eye has healed, and with correct glasses I have 100% vision with that eye. The left eye is proving to be a bit more stubborn. At this time there is still quite a lot of blood at the back of the left eye which will hopefully absorb itself back into my body over the next two to three months. If that does not happen, then there will be the potential of having surgery to solve the problem. That is something that we will deal with if it comes up. Currently the vision out of the left eye is minimal, however there has been improvement since the accident, and so I am optimistic that things will go well. The broken nose and left orbital bone are healing as per normal, and some say I am more handsome now than before:)
There has been some discussion about disabling of airbags. I don't really know what the right response to that is, other than to say that in most cases, and at most speeds the airbag will probably save your life. Even with the difficulties that I have with my vision, the potentialy worse alternative is not appealing.
To all the people that sent their best wishes via this forum, my work and home e-mail addresses, phone calls and word of mouth, I thank you for all the support - it was very appreciated.
Hope to see you soon.
