Couldbeanother 6 months or less

The fungus has cleared but there are5 other problems that need to clear then I will likely end up needing another cornea transplant.  I have another appt. with my specialistthis coming Tuesday 8/23.  I hope to know more at that time.

I wanted to leave a short note since some of you may have heard about our bad weather the other nite-no damage here altho all over town there was quite a bit but no injuries thank goodness. Hope the OP Pack and Tank in Overland Park, Kansas are ok since the storm system was very widespread.
 
Shiloh and Shasta are both doing well - getting out in the bakyard almost whenever they want and a wide variety of treats each day.

Ok,hopefully I will be back in a week or so - don't send emails since   I'm rarely even on the computer.  Comments here are ok - I copy and paste theminto a Word document then I can enlarge them.

Gotta go for now

WORDY WEDNESDAY

This is a short note from the mom since even using this font is a struggle.  First of all-Shiloh'n Shasta are fine - loving the extra mom time.  Yes, the vision problems have reared their nasty head again.  In a way it is ahmost like a deja vous of last year,  The problem this time started out as   usual this past Sunday but by Monday afternoon when  I saw the specialist in Overland Park, Kansas -  I had developed a small defect on the surface of my eye - solution was to increase the steroid eyedrop.  Nothing new about that - or so I thought - I thought I knew all of the adverse effects of it.  By Tuesday morning I was noticing more vision problems.  By the way, I HAVE to use the steroid eyedrop to prevent rejection. So, bak to the local eye doc who didn't like what he was seeing when he looked at my eye - he was concerned another fungal infection had started. Luckily for me, this was the week my specialist would be in the office that afternoon and my local doc wanted  him to see me first thing.  No big surprise that when he saw me, he confimed that diagnosis.  So ecxept for Monday morning I have been home and the dogs having a great time.

Ok, that  was the physical aspects of what is happening - I don't have time to go into the emotional aspects - and I am not sure I want to go into it anyway.  I try to stay positive and the dogs are a HUGE help for that but  there are times I struggle with that too.  Anyway I gotta go for now - have another eye doc appt,

Kim, Shiloh'n Shasta

Mom Day Monday - some photojournaling - NEW UPDATE

First I don't get away very often but when I do, I LOVE to take pictures- as many as I can - so many that this idea may take up a few of my postings.  I haven't posted them before because it seemed like there was always something else going on.  Ok so now, without further interruptions, I bring you ONLY SOME of my vacation photos -



 By the way, you will probably want to bigefy 
pictures.
Guess what - we were leaving our home 
state of Kansas - on our way to Colorado way
back on the July 4th weekend in 2009.  My uncle there had died and we were headed there for the funeral.



 Hey, I said I love taking pics - never did
      claim they were good.






Some of you may not know what these
strange-looking structures are.
              ...
               ..
                .


         They are called wind turbines and they
     are an newer way of generating electricity 
     using the power of wind - something we have
    A LOT of, especially in western Kansas where
    these could be seen for miles.




We are on the eastern edge of Denver - you can
see the Rocky Mountains in the background.
   


         That is the Elitch Amusement Park in 
        Denver - nope, never have been there and
        the only reason I got this pic of it - 
        you can see it from the highway.
Here is a picture of the moon - I thought it was sort of pretty.
Ok - this is nothing really terrific but there were these two ponds I saw in western Kansas, along with the easy rolling land that to me is pretty and kind of peaceful.


Now I know most of these pics don't show much of our trip - it really was a rushed 3 day trip from Topeka to Denver then homw again. I do have many family pics but I didn't want to bore anyone with those (and I don't know everyones name anyway.  I hope I have some other pics I can show you in one or two of future Mom Day Monday posts.  I will leave you with a picture of the Beaglebratz's Colorado canine cousin, Charlie.


PS - Shiloh'n Shasta have a little exciting news to share - I had thought about posting it today BUT since it involves them, I thought they should be the ones to post it - hopefully tomorrow.
Mom Kim

PPS - just wanted to add - at 5:45am,it was already 84 degrees out.  Yes, it will be in the triple digits today and at least 2 or 3 days this week.
The heat index on Tuesday, we could have a heat index of 115. Ok, time to get ready for work.  Ya'll have a great day!
