Hi Andy - 
Your posting arrived at a very good time for me.  I am home recovering 
from emergency eye surgery.  Right now I am too well to be confined to 
bed but not well enough yet, nor can I see well enough, to really do 
anything.  So I've been spending more time for mediation -- no sight 
required for that :) -- hoping it will help. 
I also recently attended teachings by Khenpo Tsultrim Gyamtso on 
emptiness, where he advised us to use illness as a tool on the path and 
stated that sickness comes from believing in "me" and "mine" as though 
they actually exist. 
I've been trying to put my situation and mediation and the Khenpo's 
teaching together into something that will be healing.  Your posting 
filled in a lot of the detail for me.  Thanks!
 
Lynne
