Pocket Two's.
"You never lose with pocket two's." is what they say and a lot of times they are correct.
Well I am sitting on pocket twos for tomorrow and not sure how the deal will go.
My appointment at the Mayo Clinic is at 2 pm. It is going to go one of two ways. Real good, or real bad. I have prepared myself for the real bad scenario. Don't get me wrong, I would love to have the real good outcome, but I have already heard the bad words from the U of M and North Memorial.
I have heard it twice now. "I am sorry Mr. Engnell, there is nothing that we can do to fix your double vision." There is even a team at the U of M waiting for me to be told this so that they can help take the next step. I just don't know what that next step will be.
It almost for sure includes yet another surgery. But a surgery to do what? Fix my eyes? Remove my right eye? Or another option is to leave it alone and let it be, but sew it shut so I can not use it.
Which happens
Do I catch a runner on the flop?
Or a two on the river?
I know they are all poker sayings but that is what I feel like right now. Do I catch a miracle with this doctor and he is able to pull off some kind amazing feet that will have me using both eyes again. Or is this all a waste of time and I need to adjust to a life of using only one eye.
A lot is riding on tomorrow.
I will let you know how the deal goes.

And knowin' what to keep
