Spoke with Tommy @pir8fan yesterday and I offered to come on here and let everybody know what's what, to which he agreed. For those of you who are unaware, he's been having eye problems for a LONG time. After 7 (I think? he'll correct me if I'm wrong) operations he and his doctors decided it best to remove his eye. Which as you can imagine is a pretty horrendous experience, both physically and emotionally. (My words, not his.) The operation went well, though he is in pain. But he has NOT lost his sense of humor. He said "if anybody wants to come see him, he'll keep an eye out for them." He also said he was getting an eye patch. We then had an exchange which I can't quote verbatim but we were talking about him turning into a real Pirate Man and he said something to the effect that he'd be willing to get the peg leg and the hook too, but "I'm not getting a d*mn parrot!"
This man is unstoppable! But I know he could surely use some prayers and good thoughts and more humor!
