Good day everyone.

As some of you know I recently had emergency retinal reattachment surgery. The reattachment went well however I am having some pretty heavy vision issues in that eye and will currently not be able to take on any work. My apologies and will remove this post when my vision hopefully returns to somewhat normal.

Sorry, Phil
