Jonathan McKee Sounds painful, huh?

This Thursday I go in for the third attempt to motivate my right eye to better take correction. That means a couple stitches, this time, with a day or two running start of antibiotics.

Many of you remember what happened last time we tried to do this... I got Zombie Eye! (not an official diagnosis... just what I called it). This time... I expect much better!

The worst part about it is the fact that I'm awake when they put in these stitches. They have this cool little gadget that pries open my eye, they numb me up, then they tell me, "Look forward... now a little to the left..." then they put in the stitch why I hold still! (Yeah... no pressure!)

If all goes well, I'll be fine 24 hours later. Appreciate your prayers!

The Fine Art of Stealth Communication
by Wayne Rice
10/24/2009

“Hey, Chris, what’s up?”
“Not much, Dad. Just thinking.”
“Anything I can help you with?”
“Well, I don’t know. I’m just worried about school and grades and stuff. No matter how hard I try, I just can’t seem to get the hang of algebra and political science. And if I don’t get A’s in those two classes, I can kiss that scholarship goodbye.”
“You know, son, I had a hard time in high school myself. There were so many distractions ... sports and girls and all my extracurricular activities. But once I put my mind to it, I decided to really concentrate on the subjects that were giving me trouble and things turned out okay. I didn’t get A’s like you probably will, but I did better than I thought I would.
“Thanks, Dad. It’s great to hear how things were when you were my age. Maybe I can start concentrating a little more and pull my grades up just like you did.”


As you may have guessed, the above conversation is a work of fiction. It never took place and probably never will.

Most actual conversations between parents and teenagers go something like this: “Chris, put down that video game controller and get busy on your homework.”
