Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) offered a cautiously optimistic health update following his emergency eye surgery two weeks ago, announcing late Friday that the retina in what he’s called his “half” good eye — the eye he uses to see — remains attached as of his first follow-up appointment.

“Last week, I had my first follow-up visit with my surgeon, which went very well. To our relief, my retina was still in place during my follow-up appointment. I can lift my head up again, and no longer have to position myself face-down, which is a relief,” he said. “This is obviously good news, but it doesn’t mean we are out of the woods yet.”
