Miniear, Leesburg Matney has surgery in Tennessee Jack Matney, Syracuse, while attending a relative’s wedding in Georgia, was admitted to the Erlanger Medical Center in Chattanooga, Tenn, (just across the border from the wedding) suffering from pain in his eye. The pain, apparently, was caused by an aneurysm on a blood vessel behind the eye, which pushed on the optic nerve. In most cases, according to the doctor, there is no pain involved and the patient does not become aware of the problem until the vessel bursts. Matney was fortunate to have had the problem identified early and so was scheduled for surgery at the Medical Center at 9:39 Monday morning. His wife, Barbara, called Monday afternoon to say that all went well and that the doctor may have him up and about yet this week. He will remain in intensive care for a full week, followed by another week’s recuperation at his sister’s home in Georgia, then home to Syracuse.
