Regarding veteran CL member Real Deal (Brandon)

So his good eye might not even work after the surgery has healed?

And what about the bad eye? I thought he would be perfectly normal again after the surgeries?

Thoughts and prayers to Brandon for a speedy and full recovery.

I never look at the sticked threads so I hadn't seen this, glad I finally saw it...

Well...

First of all, thanks for the mass amount of support. Quite frankly, I'm shocked because I left CL for a couple of reasons, one of which being that I was not accepted here as an NBA fan first (Lakers fan second).

I think everyone can agree with that. Every post I made after a while was chopped and diced because of it.

My eyes are still in bad shape. However, the one detached retina...I can see a tiny bit out of it and have been able to for the last few days now. Very weird. I have to blow the text up three times its size in the browser, but whatever works, right?

My surgery went well, but it's been two weeks with no change. The pain absolutely SUCKS. I have stitches in the front of my eye, so it's been hell trying to sleep or even blink. My second surgery, the other eye, has yet to be scheduled...gotta get the other healed up first...so it's like I'm standing in line here.

John, I was in OKC at the Dean McGee center, 10th and Lincoln (down from the capitol building). Just in case you were curious. man11

So...yeah, about three years ago, during our 34-win season, I told everyone that the next time the Jayhawks win it all, the Lakers will follow that same year. Keep that in mind. jam2

Had a TON of PM's. No, I'm not going to be posting here, guys. It's best that I don't. And...yes, I know where Sky is, and I talked to him before I left (he was still here). And finally, yes...I think we're going to win it all with Gasol and that Kobe's whining was a blessing in disguise.

BDG, see about upgrading to phpBB3. There are two new exploits with this one that are nearly impossible to do, but can be done nonetheless. Plus, phpBB3 is a HUGE step ahead of any other version, knowing this since I've already worked with it.

Again guys, thanks for the support. GO KANSAS, GO LAKERS, and GO DEAN MCGEE EYE SURGERY CENTER! If you guys need anything, I'm not hard to find.

Glad to see you getting better Real. Good enough to be able to do some things on your own.

Here to a successful and speedy recovery on the other eye. jam2

Glad to hear you're doing at least a tiny bit better, at least that's what I got from it. Good luck with the rest of the surgeries.
