It’s been a tough week. But I tell myself I’ve made it through 66 years and I can, and will make it through this. So, without further ado, here is this week’s Friday Five.
- I went for an Ophthalmologist appointment on Tuesday. It was an early appointment in Salem, NH, so I Ubered down on Monday, stayed at the Holiday Inn overnight, and Ubered home afterward.
- Since my surgery three weeks ago, I have had virtually no vision in my left eye. I’m still on a lot of drops and meds, and my doctor tells me he is hopeful, but I’m afraid I am starting to lose hope of getting my vision to return.
- In the meantime, Heidi is taking good care of me.
She follows me everywhere, and I wonder if there is a Dachshund School for teaching a dackel to be a guide dog? I can almost imagine little Heidi as a guide dog.
- It’s incredible how losing the vision in one eye affects your balance and also your ability to navigate the distance between that eye and a wall. Driving is a definite No-No.
- The next few months will tell if I regain any vision. I’m trying to think positively, but then I start thinking about the alternatives, and it scares the heck out of me. Oh well, life goes on…
Have a happy Weekend!
