My From Start to Finish 6.0L Build

[Fless]

Hello all, been away from the forum for a couple of months. Went into the emergency room for an sudden onset of a loss of vision event early January. Started with my left eye and migrated to include my right eye. In the hospital for eight days and went through numerous tests/scans and blood draws. Essentially I had significant swelling around both optic nerves. Only guesses on the cause. Out of commission for several weeks. At this time I have little use of my left eye. My right eye has recovered to the point where I've been cleared to drive last Thursday (daylight only). I lost a good portion of my ability to see contrasts. Hopefully as time goes by some additional improvements will occur.

Although I haven't been able to drive my Tahoe, my family have and they love it. Got in it Friday and took it for a spin. Wow, she drives so nice. Another 500 miles accumulated on the new engine. So far so good. Wrapped and preserved the engine I took out of it after cleaning it up a bit.

Good to be back on the forum.

Good to see you back on here! I pray that your sight will improve soon.

Personally I had toe surgery on my right foot and can't drive with it for 4 more weeks; I now have hand controls so I can at least get around for a while.

Glad to see you back Bob. Looks like we’ve both been dealing with medical issues. Sucks getting old.

Hope your foot heals quickly. Who installed the hand controls.

Thank you!

I did; they're just cheapies, a couple of rods that clamp to the pedals. Very temporary.

Well I’m doing good but still in the middle of the fight. Just finished 4 rounds of chemo and starting chemo/radiation next month. Fighting to save my bladder; they wanted to take it but I persuaded them not to, at least not yet. I feel like I’m beating it, time will tell.
