Do you mean that after you installed the Lightroom 5.3 update you launched Lightroom, and then saw that the catalog that opened was empty? With Lightroom closed, can you find your photos in their original folders using your operating system's file browser (Finder/Windows Explorer)?
Yes, but I cant do any retouching of the photos that I have loaded into my Lr. That Is a major pain, specially because have my own photographer business and I have file I need to work on.
Well, it sounds like all that happened was that the wrong catalog file opened when you launched Lightroom. I'm sure your other catalog (the one with all the photos) is just sitting on your drive in the same state it was in before you installed Lightroom 5.3.
If you know exactly where you keep your catalog file, then you can open it via the File > Open Catalog menu. If you don't know where it was stored on your drive you can try the default location, which is the Lightroom folder inside of your Pictures folder. If it is not there then you can search your drive for all .LRCAT files, and use the last accessed date/time to determine which one was the most recently opened.
