Alwyn is currently under general anaesthetic in New York, having reconstruction to the floor of his left eye socket.
They are using a combination of titanium and plastic to hold his eye in the correct place for the rest of his life.
Whether this will lead to the eventual restoration of single vision ( as opposed to double – or to use the correct term, diplopia ) as well as normal coordinated movement with the other eye, plus his losing the numbness in his cheek and forehead, remains to be seen.
I wish him all the luck in the world for a positive outcome.
Hoping surgery went well yesterday thinking of you Alwyn, sending lots of love to you, Nadia and kids too. Cressida and Toby xxx
Thank you both! X
See.
If God meant man to slide down snowy slopes at high speed, he’d have given us much longer and more narrow feet.
Love you Russ – thank you for being there for me in my hours of need, on the day of Alwyn’s accident. I felt so much comfort knowing you were only a phonecall away to help me understand any ophthalmic jargon that was inevitably thrown my way.
Love and appreciation your sis Nads.
