My eye appointment is over, and I made it through. They numbed my eyes and used something that touched them. When they touched them, even numb, they went into very uncomfortable spasms. It may have been the numbing solutions that caused the spasms, but they were there and fierce.

He told me that my cataracts are not bad enough for surgery yet. He is trying some things to see if it helps the way everything looks 2D instead of 3D. He said that my nerves are just weird. That just goes along with the rest of the weirdness in my nerves and this nerve disease. He said that the first time he saw the nerves behind my eyes and the tangled mess they are, as well as having some pressure on them, he thought I would be blind within 10 years. It has been over 20 years, and it has barely progressed, and the pressure is only 1 point higher. I'll take it!

My husband's eyes had not changed from last year. For a diabetic, this is fantastic news!

Our youngest is out of the hospital, and it looks like they got on top of the infection with the IVs. He is a lifeguard this summer, so they want him to stay out of the water until next week, but everything looks good.

My oldest grandson and family made it home safely. A 6-hour trip is a lot to travel for one day of visiting, especially with three towns over an hour and a half apart, but we did it a lot when we were that age, too. We even traveled 12 hours each way to stay for a day and a half on long weekends.
