To say it’s been a busy week would be an understatement. Here goes.
- I started the week anticipating news about my eye. Would I need more surgery? Should we wait a little longer? Would I always be like this? The good news is that a few days before my appointment, my vision had started to clear. It is not perfect, but I am beginning to see some things again.
- Tuesday dawned, and I got ready for my trip to Salem. I had made a reservation with Uber, leaving an extra half an hour for traffic. To sum it up, they did not arrive. I was standing in my driveway, and my friend Amy drove in. “Where do you think you’re going?” I told her what was happening, and she told me I was not driving and to get into her car.
- She drove me all the way to Salem. I cannot tell you how appreciative I am. Not being able to drive is a real pain. But Amy got me there! I think it was all the craziness that kept me from losing my mind.
- They did several scans on my left eye and then tested the pressure and vision. I can see some of the things on the eye chart, but I’m still legally blind in my left eye.
- The news is mostly good. They’ve seen such improvement that they want to wait. I will go back in three weeks, and I hope that things will have continued to improve. I swear to God I will never take my vision for granted.
