Back and Forth to Dr Bains in Tyler, TX
April 30, 2004, Friday
Back to Tyler for clearing out the fog in Jerry’s right eye (YAG laser for Opacified Capsule ).
Day started out with sprinkles and clouds. By afternoon, it was beautiful, warm, and sunny.

Back to Tyler in a heavy downpour. Lazer surgery done today.
Campground is empty, we are the only ones, except for a few regulars. Finally, the tank monitor was down to one light for a short while! Cannot get a signal with my Verizon service and Mobile Office. Very unpredictable as to when it will get a signal.

Back to Dr. Bains, the retina specialist in Tyler, to examine the gas bubble in Jerry’s eye. It was 3 bubbles, so need to wait until tomorrow when it is only one big bubble! Tyler is 40 miles from Athens. These visits are taking most of the day.
In the evening, went for a drove down one side of Lake Athens, which also borders the Fish Hatchery. Houses and yards are spectacular.

Jerry has to go to Tyler to eye doctor. Jerry had a detached retina in his left eye and had emergency surgery. They injected a gas bubble into his eye which pushes the retinal tear closed against the back wall of the eye. Then they will do lazer repair. Guess we will be extending our stay a week more. We are getting to know route 31 to Tyler and the loop road, 317, around Athens.
Big fish tournament at the lake tonight – about 50 boat trailers around. The boats rushed out at 6PM and most came back by 9PM. When anyone had a fish over 21 inches, they brought it in to measure and enter into contest, then went back and released the fish.
