A Dream Come True and Company's Coming!!

I want to thank everyone that has left comments and sent me emails on my eye problems. The eyes are doing much better thank goodness. I can see so much better than before, but I am having pretty severe headaches behind the right eye. I am hoping part of this is from allergies.

I don't have to wear glasses to drive, but my closeup vision isn't what I was hoping for. There is the "trifocal" area out there (if you are 40 or over you are probably familar with that,lol) where things are a little blurry and I definitely have to have "readers" for closeup. I am hoping that everything will settle down by the end of August or so and I will know what limitations I am going to have. I have not done a lick of sewing this week and have slept mostly. I think that is the best medicine for me right now.

One dream I have always had has come true however! I always see these young gorgeous girls with the sunglasses in their hair, and some older gorgeous women also, for that matter. Anyway I have always wanted to be able to do that, and Voila! I CAN!!!! lol

Here is a picture taken after I had my hair cut and repurpled with my sunglasses on. I took a picture with the sunglasses in my hair, but my right eye is so red that it is gross and I didn't think anyone would want to see that, lol.

I also treated myself to a pedicure, and I took this picture so you could see the purple slides the tech put on my feet after my pedicure, lol!

All of this I had to get done because Sharon is coming to town next week and has threatened me if I am not purple, lol. I am now ready for the Papparazzi Princess! And did I say I am excited about it? Well, yes, I really am. I have my camera battery all warmed up!

Hope everyone has had a good weekend and has a wonderful weekend! And thanks again to all for stopping by to see me!

Ooops!!!!!!................

I was just laying there in the lala land of meds when I hear this very sorrowful sigh.....

and I am suddenly awake. All I can see is a little hole over my left eye and I know that I have a drape over my right eye.

Dr, what's wrong?

Well, we have a little problem, another sigh

What happened?

Sigh, Well, you must be mad at somebody, you were grinding your teeth and moving your head around, so I was sitting here waiting for you to settle down, which you did. And I started to make my incision and you jerked your head real hard.

So what happened?

Another sigh Well, I cut your iris by mistake and it just "squished" out. sigh

Now I am laying very still and not moving a muscle while I am asking her this.

So now what?

Sigh, well you are going to have to be very still while I fix this

ok

So I laid there and was very still and she slowly but surely repaired my iris that had "squished" out and replaced the lens that she was in there to do. The whole time she was sighing and telling me what a good surgical patient I was because I was being so still, and she was so upset that this had happened, and I kept telling her not to worry about it. I was more upset about her being upset than I was about the miscut, because I figured she could fix it, which she did. It really shook her up.

This is not supposed to happen during regular surgery;stuff like this happens only during trauma, and she sighed again..

I have no idea how long it took her to "fix" it all, but I was in the OR over 2 hours for a 15 minute operation, lol.

And bless her heart, she was a white as a sheet and really very upset.

This happened Tuesday, and Wednesday I was back in her office so she could see how my eye was. And, bless her heart, she sighed again and almost giggled when she looked in my eye, and then she said ooooh,, this looks great!

And apologized again, Everything was good, it would just take about a week or so before all of the trauma made to the cornea and iris cleared up.

Can you come back tomorrow so I can check the pressure?

Sure, I can't do anything else, might as well, lol. So back in there today and the eye pressure is very good, and it is healing and I can see a little more today than yesterday, thank goodness.

She used the model of the eye that was sitting there and showed me what she had to do. All I can say is wow! It is going to be at least a week, maybe longer before my eye returns to normal. I guess I will be doing a lot of sleeping.

As I told her, I can be very still, but I don't have a lot of patience and I am bored stiff. Tired of sleeping or resting with my eyes closed. If there are spelling mistakes in here, sorry about that. I am typing this a little at a time.

Thanks to everyone who has asked how I am, and to all who have contributed to CF through Katy's Voyagers. We still have 8 days before the drawing, so it isn't too late to get your donation in. I promise, you will have numbers, lol.

I know I owe people a lot of followups on emails; I don't think they will get done for the most part. I just can't see that long. I do however, appreciate every one of them.

Now I am going to get off of here and close my eyes. They are itching something fierce. I am taking benadryl to help with the itching, and puttind prednisone drops in my eyes every hour and 2 other kinds of drops in them 4 times a day. Such fun~~~

I hope everyone's week is going a little bit better than mine has so far!
