Well, I can see a little bit now, however, not well enough to proofread this post. Once again, I am just talking into my iPad. My eyes a little bit better, but after six days, I would expect it to be a whole lot better than it is. It still hurts, things are still moving, I feel the stitches in my eye, etc. The good thing is, the big bubble in my eye is moving downward. So I can see out of the top half of my eye the best. David took me to the hairdresser today to get my hair washed. It felt wonderful.

It is most comfortable to have my eye closed. I am unable to close my right eye and keep my left eye open, so I have to close both of them. If it was my left eye, I can close it while I keep my right eye open. So, anyway, I mostly just sit with my eyes closed. I can read the headlines in the newspaper, but I cannot do my puzzles, paint, color, Crosstitch or much of anything. I am getting very, very tired of this. It does not hurt when I sleep, so I look forward to bedtime. every night. I still cannot lay on my back, and my head has to be raised, so I’m still sleeping with my pillow on the wedge. I’m ready for things to get back to normal. I go to Dallas on Wednesday for my follow up. David will drive me. Again.

I have some riddles for you today

What is the ratio of an igloo’s circumference to its diameter?

What do you call 2000 pounds of Chinese soup?

What is the time between slipping on a peel and smacking the pavement?

1/10/25 It's Friday.  2025.  Holy cow.  When I was a kid, I thought in 2025 we'd be living in space or something and robots would be our maids.  Like Rosy, on the Jetsons.  This is gonna be a nutshell post: I had several doctor appoints since I last wrote. Had another sleep study for something my cardiologist ordered.  Long word, can't remember it.  I bought a new car.  Christmas was simply delightful with all the kids home.  ct/DNA test came back negative (woo-hoo!).  Went to Houston to MD Anderson this week for an MRI and my surgeon will call me this afternoon with the results.  However, I read in MyChart last night that my tumor had  grown only a tiny amount in the past 2 years, so I'm stopping the MRIs because it's probably benign. (woo-hoo!)  I'm still doing physical therapy twice a week in the pool to try and help my back.  We went to a New Year's Eve party and I did something a friend told me about.  I tol...

  6/16/25 I’m back. By a show of hands, everyone that loves my charts, and patient portals, etc. raise those hands high! Hmmmm, I see none going up. I have sent messages on my patient portal on several occasions and heard nothing back. So, I call the office and leave a message, because you never get a real person the first time. No one calls me back. I think I might drive to the office tomorrow. ….. sigh. On a good note, my ctDNA test came back negative. Hooray! And I go back to MD Anderson in Houston in two months. I have an endoscopy in three weeks. I see my rheumatologist in two days. I need to get my dermatologist to take a look at my head. It’s been five weeks since she cut that open and it still has not healed. It’s still scabby and bloody. So, I still cannot get in the pool. And I have to stay out of the sun. It looks pretty icky on the top of my head, I’m sorry to say.  David and I celebrated my good news by going to Shreveport this past weekend. We had a good time. Th...

  12/16/24 It's Monday.  Today is my daughter Stacy's birthday.   I was supposed to get my glasses last Monday, then Wednesday, then Thursday - they finally came in.  I was chastised for calling in to get the status when I'd signed up for text messaging, however, I never got a text message.  Ever.  They lied to me 3 times about why they were late.  About why it took 25 friggin' days to get them, etc.  They think nothing about lying to customers at the optical department of Sam's Club.  I dislike them so much that I would be willing to unplug them from life support just so I could charge my cell phone. So, now I wea bi-focals.  I have not gotten used to them yet.  My close-up vision is much better, but my distance vision...... not so much.  David says I just need to get used to them.  Of course, this advice is coming from a man that sat down to eat breakfast and thought his toast was too cold.  Any reasonable pers...
