I’m taking a few minutes to sit up, with my head tilted, to write you all a little note. I’ve decided that I am a Blog Addict! I really miss writing each day and sharing my little corner of the world with you all.
I have been a very good little girl, lying here, on my side, resting. I believe my eye is doing well, but I am still having double vision when the eye is not patched and there is occasionally quite a bit of discomfort.
Still I feel incredibly lucky on many levels. I feel lucky to live in a country with some of the finest doctors in the world. In fact my surgeon is doing research now that may help restore vision to the blind.
I feel lucky to be married to a man who would drive 1200 miles to get me to my doctor, and to cook and clean up meals so that I can rest and heal.
Me and Mandy
I feel lucky to have a daughter and husband and M, who came and made my Christmas Eve dinner! I felt loved and cared for, even if it was hard for me to lie still.
And I feel lucky to have my pups who have taken such good care of me.!
Greta and Arnie
Anneliese
And I feel lucky to have all of you who are out there praying for my return to health. Thank you!
That’s typical you dear Maribeth; in all your struggles, you feel lucky and happy and share your happy moments with your loved once. I admire your spirit and guts as well as your positive thinking – you really are a role model!
Btw: Mandy and Jack looks like excellent chefs at the kitchen π
You are so lucky to have so many caring friends and family by your side! Hope it heals quickly!
You have lived your life so that you are well loved by your family and friends, dear. That’s why you have such a good support system. Hope you are feeling much better soon. And you probably will with the canine love you are getting, too. π
My god. What an odyssey! Happy you are surrounded with so much love. :)Maybe Mr. Duke and Lani need to come visit again to add some love π
π Looks like you’re being well taken care of! Keep up the resting!
Ah yes! Lucky indeed and wonderful pictures too!! Love YOU, Mel
I am just back from our Christmas holidays to the Ardennes where we celebrated with our son, DIL and her parents. There was no internet connection so I didn’t know at all what happened to you ! Must have been horrible ! I am happy that the surgery could take place in time, I just learned about a retina detachment because of the FIL of my son, it happened to him not long ago in the Domenican Republic, imagine ! Fortunately he found a good surgeon and he is OK by now. I hope your eye will heal quickly too ! I see nevertheless you had a nice Christmas. I had a very nice one too !
What’s better than have caring famlily around?
