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->

ReplyDeleteYour bed is fangtastic.
I was glad to see you at Max the Quilt Cat's Pawty. You both looked grrrreat.
Kim, I do not know the story behind your eye or other health problems, just some of what I have read here on the blogs... I just know how I feel when I read your posts and read of your struggles with your eyes. I guess there is some sort of string between us and I feel like I know your heart. I am so glad that you are able to work again and it really is cause to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteShiloh and Shasta, I really do love your new bed, I would bet that Jill would love one like it! You were so lucky to win that prize and going to get treats!
I think you have every reason to celebrate too. Happy New Year Beaglebratz and mom!

It sounds like great news to us! My mom has mapdot-fingerprint dystrophy in her eyes (on again/off again blindness but in remission for the past 10 years!). She really knows what it's like to have vision problems.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for a wonderful new year. Yes, I like that bed. You two look like an I Ching.
love & wags,
River
