George
all the best for your future. and hope your eyes get the rest they need from the screen.

I did enjoy reading about military things, especially with quite a few of my g'mother's brothers being in ww1. your insights were very helpful.

best wishes always

George,

Sight is a most precious commodity and I am sure that you are doing the right thing by following your doctors advice in an attempt to preserve yours.

Your input on these boards and your extensive knowledge of military matters has been a great help to others, both with direct answers and by sharing your knowledge with others. On behalf of those others and myself, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Take good care of yourself in the future.

Best wishes for the future, and I hope that help can be given with your eyes so that you can use the computer or that someone else can help you with the computer.

Very sorry to hear you are leaving, George. Your knowledge of military matters has been very useful to so many.

Maybe you will follow up Rollo's suggestion and we may see you here again in the future.

Best wishes

Sorry to hear that George. I have seen your name so many times on these boards over the years helping people. I am sure they would all want to thank you and say how much you will be missed.

Your sight is so much more precious and we probably never imagine how much a serious problem will affect our lives until it happens.

Good luck for the future and hope that the rest from the screen will help.

I’m so sorry to hear you have to leave us but you are doing the right thing I’m sure.....

I for one will miss you and gowed knows who I am going to sign post members to when you have gone. I’ve lost count over the years how many people I referred over to you when it came to military conundrums!

You take very good care of yourself

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.

Wonderful news George. About the nurses I mean.

I suppose being able to return to your computer, even if time restricted, was also good for you to hear.

Welcome back.
