Mom day Monday bummed out - SECOND POST TODAY

I'm not good at asking for

prayers -

I feel like 

I'm a broken record

sometimes.

A while back I said 

I wasn't going to post anymore about my 

eye and vision unless 

there was a drastic change.

A few days later there was a 

second outbreak of the 

Herpes Keratitis virus but 

it was also off to the side and

wasn't causing any vision problem so

I figured no big deal and didn't say anything.

Well the last couple of days I began

noticing a change in my vision-

not as good as it had been.

Just slight at first but

today, at a scheduled follow-up,

it was discovered that the virus had

indeed spread into the path of central vision.

At least I was able to work today and

hopefully tomorrow too.

Ok, so I'm bummed out a little BUT

I don't think it affected my appetite.

Yesterday I had slow-cooked a small pork roast in

a bath of the salsa I LOVE along with

about a fourth cup of Olive Oil and

extra onions and maybe a 

teaspoon of garlic -

of course the meat just fell apart.

That was yesterday BUT

then for MY dinner earlier,

I had purchased a twice-baked potato

from the deli 

(see where I'm going with this?)

Yep, after heating up a little meat that 

I had torn in smaller pieces-

I apooned it over the potato along with the salsa then

sprinkled it with a handful of grated Mexican cheese then

nuked it all for about 30 seconds.

(No, the Beaglebratz did not get any but

they do have their own package of

grated Cheddar cheese which 

they did get some of that)

If I can fix that good of stuff when

I'm bummed out, just think what I can make

when I'm not.

Anyway, time for bed-

I do need to get more sleep than

I have been.

Shiloh'n Shasta are doing their part (kinda)

to help mom out.

Mom's Day Monday

I wonder what those 

two think about sometimes?

 

This was what they were doing 

most of the weekend.

Don't they ever tire of sleeping?

~Shiloh~

Ok, now a werd frum mom-

Mom here-

I had another eye doc appt. with the 

specialist today - he was quite pleased.  Took a quick first look at my eye and thought there was improvement that he could easily see this time.  So to make sure, he took a longer look and said yes, there was definite improvement - almost total improvement.  I thought I was seeing some improvement too in my vision and I was able to read one more line on the eye chart.  Ok, next up - an appt. with my local doc in one week.  In a way it seems like to many appts. but the way my eye condition can change so rapidly I would rather that than being off for 4 or 5 months.  Ok, next post should be from the Beaglebratz.

Our Peep is a Flake - one more time...........

MOM ON MONDAY........ and a word (or two or...) from Shiloh'n Shasta

First Mom - Ok, I have decided that unless there is a drastic change in my vision in the next month or so, I will not be posting a whole lot about it.  At times it seems to take over my life and there is more to me than that.  Suffice it to say that I did have an appointment earlier this morning with my local eye doctor and while the improvement is still "maybe slight but definitely not worse but no cause for celebration" - my doctor needs to realize that I do consider "not worse" a really good reason to celebrate considering the overall nature of my eye condition.  In fact, the fact that I am seeing good enough that I can return to my previous job IS a MAJOR cause for celebration.

In fact, after thinking about my overall health condition 35 years ago when I was discharged from the hospital on Christmas Eve after a surgery that left me more like an infant than a 20 year old woman and having the surgeon and other medical staff giving a prognosis that I would probably never walk again and a hospital social worker tell my mom and dad that they should probably find an institution for me - and now I am living on my own and working at a good job where I have been for 26 years.  Reason to celebrate- 

DARN RIGHT I HAVE REASON TO CELEBRATE!

Ok, this post is already longer than I originally planned - hope no one minded my sentimental journey but it was all kinda brought home when I sat in church on Christmas Eve 2011 and thinking what 'I' was experiencing when I sat in church on that Christmas Eve in 1976.

Now on to the news from Shiloh'n Shasta->

Shiloh'n Shasta Beaglebratz here-                 Ok, we iz NOT gonna b az long-winded 

az mom wuz.
