Hi - Ho Hi - Ho, it's off to work I go (Wordless Wednesday - sort of)

Yep - tis true tis true.  Of course if I was independently wealthy or at least had a good source of a second income then not working would probably not be such an issue.  And of course, I do hate terribly having to leave the Beaglebratz behind - I am SURE they will have a few choice words I mean barks for me when I do get home.

Anyway, at my appt. last week, my vision was still between 20/150 and 20/200 - an improvement believe me but I was worried - would it be enuf.  I should not have worried - today when I saw my specialist, my vision was up to between 20/60 and 20/70 AND my specialist expects it to improve even more-
WHAT A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!

As Shiloh'n Shasta would say - WOWZERZ WOW WOW!

 Ok, first of all, I must take a minute to thank my wonderful Beaglebratz for the nice post wishing me a happy birthday.  Then I need to thank all of you who left me happy birthday wishes.

NOW for the REALLY GREAT NEWS-
today was another follow-up appt. with my cornea specialist who has got to be
one of the smartest and great eye docs around.
Remember last week my new cornea transplant
was NOT healing-
vision improving and no signs of rejection BUT
just not healing.
Well, thanks to all the prayers here
and the method of treatment my eye doc
used to try to resolve that problem-
TOTALLY HEALED!

Now I am not the least naive when it comes to 
the health of that eye-
I know that does not mean there will never be a problem again-
however at least my eye doc is taking
preventive steps to at least try to keep this healthy at least for awhile.
For now he is continuing the use of that bandage contact lense plus he will see me 
next week when he is here in Topeka.
I am feeling better about that-
I hate being put off to more infrequent doc visits when I know I have an eye condition that needs a tad more attention-
at least for awhile.

Sis'n I were gone most of the day today so we did a little shopping in Overland Park.
I had a couple of tater tots that found their way bak to my kitchen so I flattened them out a bit
then melted a bit of cheese on them and 
added them to the 
dogs kibble after they cooled-
between that and 
their late evening treats I
hope that helped Shiloh'n Shasta feel better
a little after leaving them most of the day.

Ok, bedtime for us all here-
more later sometime.

Cornea Transplants - not jst bad off and good on (from mom)

Ok, well this past Wednesday when I left my specialist's office, I had learned further info of what is exactly involved in the entire process of a cornea transplant - I fuess that info maybe was explained to me years ago ( after all, this was my fourth time) actually I probably should have known but in the whole process maybe I forgot that part.  

I guess I always thought that even tho it is a intricate surgery, it just involved taking my old bad cornea out and then putting in the donor tissue then of couse there was always the possibility of the new cornea being rejected but  as of now rejection is not the issue with me - no, that is a relatively easy problem to take care compared to the issue I am dealing with now altho it too is nothing new to me'  my vision has improved and as I said, no signs of rejection of the new cornea however after the new cornea is put in place, I still had to regrow my own tissue to cover the donor cornea - when the specialist examined my eye, this regrowth had yet to begin - I did not realize this was suppose to happen but once I knew then I was not really surprised because I know how slow that area heals for me.  As a result I am now wearing that bandage contact lense  again - the one I can see thru but has no power in it.  It helped a bit - for my piece of mind - to know that my specialist was not surprised this happened.  So now I am bak to waiting - I go bak to the specialist next Wednesday, 12/7 so I hope I will know more then - especiall since I am set to go bak to work on 12/12.

We are all doing well otherwise - just trying to stay warm.  May get a little freezing rain this weekend.
