Thanks for answering my original question everyone. This board provides such valuable information. I really appreciate it. I do feel badly for Matt. I can't imagine the stress he is under in general. Now he has a very serious health issue to deal with. It's hard enough to recover from something even when recovering in a calm quiet environment. I sure wish him the best and really admire the personal stubbornness and grit he has demonstrated thus far. I am disappointed about not having the meeting today as I think the shorts will use this additional week for more FUD.

Hmmm guess those who sold to avoid our usual post cc/er pummeling may have to buy back for a week. :-))

The detached retina is not good at all, I'm really sorry Matt has to go through this. Hopefully, it goes relatively smoothly for him, but it can be tough and debilitating, depending. Clearly nothing anyone ever needs! Best wishes for a quick recovery, Matt! Eyeball Surgeon (to Matt just before operation): The future may be cloudy. Matt: You're telling me. Put me under already. kball, that prognostication sounds more like the "Magic Eight-Ball Surgeon."

I think Matt may relish the role of Nick Fury (Samuel L Jackson) leading The Avengers. Temporarily, of course... I believe that they are hiring Nick Fury for the European rollout. Hopefully I don't get in trouble posting a rumor.

He will probably do what he did a previous time. He will introduce an underling who will read a prepared statement.

And if he does, that's fine with me and most others; Matt isn't exactly Mr. Excitement anyway. He may well be in no condition to do any part of his job for a while, and it would be foolish to jeopardize his sight for such a thing. The marketing guy's realm will be front and center anyway.

Retinal detachment is very serious, and recovery is not short or simple. I'm surprised the cc is scheduled for only a week later. Makes me wonder if there is something they want to get out before the earnings call. That or the negative spin that would be put on things if the call was completely cancelled.

While all eyes are on Matt and his surgery, it should go without saying, but I will say it any way, that just because the announcement to shareholders is delayed one week, that does not mean that the program is delayed at all. Even as they announced that Matt would delay the CC by 1 week, they also announced the appointment of two key new executives that will be part of the launch. The work towards bringing to Afrezza is underway, the ship has left the harbor, and we can break the champagne bottle next week when Matt tells us about the plan and the maybe about some progress that occurred while he was having surgery. I had a detached retina once, and I know it can be difficult to handle at the personal level, but Mannkind is an organization with a plan now, and Matt will be back in good form soon.

Posted on Facebook: "MannKind Corporation: Matt's surgery went well and he'll have more information after the post-op doctor visit today. Thank you for asking."
