EARLY MORNING THIS MORNING. Woke around 3. Wide awake. Sleep wouldn't slumber so I stayed awake. Laundry in. Paperwork gone through, switched places I was sleeping and finally dosed to sleep for a couple of hours. Worked on my Mom's Mother's Day present and card. Wrote out the BILLS, wrote out a birthday card and a retirement card with gift.
The BILLS get to me. I think I dislike them. As long as I am alive, there will be BILLS. sigh.
Yesterday, we went to purchase some buffalo meat. We'd been waiting for buffalo breakfast sausage. Finally some came in.
I went back to the Optometrist about cloudy vision and floaters after cataract surgeries. He believes I just will take longer to heal. It's been 8 weeks for my right eye and 6 weeks for my left. My left seems to have more issues than the right.
Decided to read about CATARACT SURGERIES and what can go wrong. What can be worked on after the surgeries?
I had no idea that so much could go wonky. I may have issues for a year. I wasn't thinking this was going to happen.
I agreed to wait a little longer allowing some more time to see if the floaters and milky veil go away. Two weeks longer? It's bothering me. I had no idea that I would lose my ability to focus up close. I knew I'd have to have reading glasses, but I had no idea that without glasses I would not be able to focus up close as before. This was not explained to me.
When it comes times to ask questions, I don't always know what questions I am to ask. I'll continue to gather info so I am better informed about what to ask, now what?
When we left the doctor's office, I wanted to go to Manhattan for an ACUAI Bowl with extra granola. Then go to TARGET for a toilet paper stand, milk, dish detergent and Green Tea from Starbucks. As I was going into the store, I saw in the distance an old acquaintance using a walker with a young women assisting her. I observed her not believing how bad of shape she is in. About a. year ago, I heard that she was ailing. I didn't greet her as I thought she wouldn't remember me.
Something has gone haywire with her brain and as she walks she stops to look at her feet concerned about walking as if she has lost the ability to know how to walk. It's very sad actually. I think her husband is on kidney dialyses as well.
I was stunned at how much she had changed health wise. She was a very vibrant woman when I was in a Bible Study with her. LIFE IS SHORT. I mustn't take it for granted. Absolutely nothing. Prayers for her and her mate.
Since Home Depot was in the area, I wanted to go get a cherry tomato plant and Hubby wanted pepper plants for patio pots. The weather was starting to look threatening so we didn't doddle. Went straight HOME. I was reminded that I want to get out for the day for goof off time instead of going to so many medical appointments. I need some time where I am on no agenda. Hello.
I have to make this happen.
Working on laundry today so we have clothes to wear. That's important huh? Not sure I will get a walk in today or not. I walked yesterday. Lord, Thank you that I can walk, talk, see, hear. I have some challenges, but I still get around.
I will feel better when the COTTAGE is in shape. Taking LIFE one day at a time. Graduations coming up. I've got to allow time for NAPS each day as I need them for continual healing. Our schedules continue to change throughout LIFE.
