POWER OF POSITIVE - PAWSITIVE THINKING

I know we have all been doing this (and my tanks are sooooooooo great) but it seems to be more important now then before.  Yes, improvement is still happening which I found out at my appt; yesterday. However what would normally take a NORMAL and HEALTHY eye maybe a few days to heal - the normal healing process of my eye is non-existent (nothing new-been this way for years which is a main problem for all my vision problems).  So what that means, what my doc told me - with normal healing, the epithelial defect or the skin tear on my cornea would be healed by now.  HOWEVER,because of my compromised immune system involving the eye it could take my vision at least two to three more weeks to heal.  Now IF I were married (maybe) or at least had some type of a sufficient second income that would not really be a problem. One good thing is that I can elect to have my employer cover the cost of my health insurance but I will have to pay it bak once I return to work.  However they offer no disability type of insurance or coverage unless it is workman's comp which of course this isn't    So then, what am I getting at?  That two or three weeks is just really NOT acceptable to me altho I am sure that Shiloh'n Shasta would not have a problem with it (at least until their dog food ran ot and no more treats in the drawer) however as you all are aware, there are just a tad more to living than that (Of course whatever the time limit is - that is really something determined by God but I can still try and do something)  

ANYHOW OR ANYWHO - as the subject of this post says - positive - pawsitive thinking. I know you have all been doing this along with your so many prayers and healing vibes - if it isn't TOO much trouble maybe you could mention this in your blog or Facebook page if you have one?   I even worke  some clothes I usually reserve for work to my doc appt. - maybe as a hidden motivator????????????????

I am just so very much in awe and appreciative of all the kindness and support and comments we have all been given.    May be bak to my blog over  the weekend or the Beaglebratz may put in an appearance - not sure at this time - rite now I need to go.  Thanx again so very much for all your help.

Hello all - Update

This is late in coming but there has not really been as much change as I would like to  report, it is now in a kind of wait and see phase.  There was also a problem with my computer, had to end up resetting it.  I guess there really has been good improvement since this all began - my vision got as bad as barely being able to count fingers at a couple of feet and now up to 20/300 but I still have no real idea of when I can get bak to work.  

I have been really concerned after hearing about all the wildfires in Texas and bad weather and the hurricane along the East Coast. Can anyone leave me a messageon anyone in these areas and other?

Shiloh and Shasta are doing well.  We have been having some of the most lovely weather for September I have ever seen - temps in the mid 70's  the last few days so they have had many trips out back and I have started using baby carrots ALOT for treats - they love them and come running when they see I have some.  If I did not use the carrots the Beaglebratz would have gained who knows how much by now.

Ihave another eye doc appt tomorrow so I hopeI can come by with another update in thenext day or so - hopefully my computer will behave itself now so maybe the updates will be a little more regular.  Hope to b bak soon

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
