Well folks this is the end of my participation on GR and probably family history in general.

I have been diagnosed with a serious eye problem and have been advised/told not to spend hours looking at this blasted screen, otherwise it could be more serious than it is now.

I have been on this site for 6 years and have enjoyed every minute, i hope i have never upset anyone,although, i have been "told off" a couple of times. I have always tried my best to help in whatever way i could, but i will never be as good as a lot of the helpers on here, sometimes i am amazed at the info that is found.

Whilst i do not participate on the General board i always read whats going off and some of the threads i find hilarious when you all join in with the banter.


Anyway can i wish all of you the very best and to all the helpers keep up the good work, you make GR what it is.

I might just pop in until my sub expires in July, but only just to see whats going off, but i am not allowed to keep staring at this screen for very long, i might just post the odd joke.

All the best everyone.

George



Shows how much i know didn't even know which board to put this on



UPDATE 22/3/2012
just to let you know, following ten weeks of of various treatments for the ulcers in my eyes, pills ,potions and other treatments, i have today been told that the treatment has been successful, although my vision has deteriorated a little, but not causing me a problem, so i might just answer a few queries

However because of the nature of the problem these ulcers could return, so i have been told to limit my computer./TV viewing activity to a maximum of two hours per day, but I'm still on the pills and potions for a while yet, still its good news.

Of course there has been a benefit to all the treatments i have received, I've had all the lovely nurses gazing into my eyes twice a week, i must be naive i thought they were doing it because of my eye problem ;-)

Well done to all those who have looked after me during this worrying time for me, especially all those lovely nurses, WHO I SHALL NEVER FORGET.
