     I had the aura before having my cataract surgery. Also saw double   
   and truple tail-lights at night. That's all fixed.   
    It will be a year on Halloween since I had my back surgery. Doing   
   well. Leg pain is gone and back pain is better but will never be   
   totally absent.   
   My wife lost half of her left lung to cancer this summer and is   
   recovering VERY well. She quit smoking 40 years ago - may or may not   
   be a contributor - never smoked heavily.
