Eye surgery can be life changing-I had what doctors called rapidly forming cataracts which went from nonexistent to level 3 and 4 in 14 months (4 is the maximum measure); long story short, I was 54 years old at the time (56 now) and as I am currently, I teach high school English and do electrical work during summer months-so I need my vision. My interocular lenses were both replaced and my vision was completely restored. I was shocked at how bright the sun, moon and stars really are-what a blessing! Cheers!
So very pleased your eye surgery is successful. My late mother had a detached retina in her late eighties and it turned out great. My wife had two ops for cataracts recently and can see to read without glasses. Please continue to take care and not push yourself even when you feel good. We need you to be our guide to the caring restoration of interesting old machinery. Rob Hollick. South Africa 41:18
The eye surgery update was just magical to hear. “The blue skies” got me. I like how he wouldn’t go to Brisbane. A man has to know his limitations - Clint Eastwood. Oh.. by the way. The frog wasn’t hurt. Classic side bit. thank you Bruce. A man talking about losing his vision and he tells this nugget. I don’t think it’s coincidental that he got his vision cured. We can all use some vision improvements.
I drove one of those old girls for 5 years the one I drove was a manual transmission I drove for tweed heads blue metal quarry was hard work back then they are a Beautiful old engine the Gm go forever brings back great memories 😊
Glad to hear your vision is back. I live in the states and have had my share of eye problems too. In one eye I had a torn retina twice and something called a macular hole. To top that off I'm blind in my other eye. needless to say, through modern medicine, I have been able to keep good vision in my only eye. I too had to lay head down for 4 weeks after the macular hole was repaired. When I was about 30 years younger, I had a congenital cataract removed in that same eye. I'm about 67 years old, have good eyesight, have my own auto repair shop, drive and carry on a normal life. Thankful to God for His care and good doctors!
You are such an amazing man. I am so happy the eye people were able to help you in the same way you could fix their whatever. Your talent, to me, is the same as theirs. You are a brilliant man.
Well done Bruce, nice to see you back on your feet. Exceptionally well done the camera man. Firstly for the work on the camera, secondly for doing lots of other things and thirdly, most importantly, for keeping Bruce on the leash to prevent him getting himself into trouble.
Bruce, thanks for the up on the eye surgery and the encouragement to deal with issues promptly. Blokes think they are bulletproof, but the reality is we aren't. It's great to see you back on the tools, but take it easy. John
Good advice Bruce, got to look after your eyes, we are blessed with eye surgeons that can pull off these nip, tuck and adjustment with scientific advancements in our modern times.
Good to see you back on the mend Bruce. Health comes before TH-cam, so take it easy & I’m sure anything that’s been stuck in a field for any length of time, will still be there when you’re ready. 👍
Dear Mr. Bruce. 👍👌👏 Congratulations 🎉 I'm happy to hear that all went well with your eye surgery. I wish you all the best for the surgery on the second eye. Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Hi Bruce, Glad you had your Cataracts done. I have had both my eyes done and I was easily the youngest guy in the room at 50. The surgeon said to me “why did you wait so long” as they were pretty bad. I was amazed like you that things had edges again. One think I will say is gradually your eyes can become cloudy again as cells stick to the artificial lenses. It can take a couple of years to occur. Mine took another 10 years to become a problem. I’m now over 60. It’s an easy fix with about a 10 minute procedure with a laser while you are awake. Just bright lights but completely painless. So be on the lookout for that and there is no need to put up with it. The doctors tend not to tell you about this problem. You end up with what they call “floaties” inside your eye which is a bit like a fly on the wall which your brain tunes out after a while and eventually degrades and disappears. But way less problem than the cloudy/ double triple vision. Loving your videos. Great work and keep your chin up 🤠
Great to hear you have recovered so well from the detached retina drama. I had cataract surgery on both eyes, and as you say, everything's much brighter and clearer. We're lucky to have this sight saving technology available to us.
We do live in the lucky country. I had a torn retina some years ago, so I have some idea of your concerns and the thankfulness you feel once it is fixed. Our doctors are wonderful. Clever, skilful and they know the urgency of the situation. Good luck to you Bruce. Regards, Peter H (in Sydney)
That's quite impressive how you were able to have your eye fixed. I guess before we had modern technology people would have just went blind. I'm glad to hear that you were able to get fixed right up.
I woke up one morning with a red eye, I was a little alarmed but it went away after a couple of days So thanks for that Bruce I will have to remember what you have just said about your eye ball I came to watch you fix an old truck and got medical advice instead 👍👍👍👍
Hope you have recovered from your eye surgery! So glad to see you wrenching on Wally again!
What! When was this?
@@mookitty2396 How come you don't know? Aren't you a Bruce fan?

I am very glad things are going well, Bruce. As far as that wise cameraman, I think we all appreciate him having your best interests at heart.

Looks like the cameraman needs a raise, with all the extra effort he put in! 😅
If it's still the same camera man. It is his son. Just in case you didn't know. 😉
"" Cameraman , "" what you want me to work??? you said for me to operate the camera ""??? very good of him. hahahahahaha
Good to see you're back Bruce, hope all went well.
