Thanks peeps I feel totally squeezed to bits. 8) I feel much better about what's happened, now I've had time to think about it rationally. I've been a bit scared of getting the laser surgery but if it needs to be done to save my sight then I'm going with the flow and hope for the best. I'll write again tomorrow and let you all know what's said at the clinic. Thank you all for being such dear friends. 8D Catlin
