Well, Dearies...so much for me having a nice quiet Thursday!
I started at 10:00 this morning with a visit to my family doc, Dr. Barbara. She is just excellent in every way and likes to lay eyes on me every now and then to ensure I am behaving myself. (Which I am...in spades, I tell ya!)
From there, I killed a little time at Hobby Lobby and JoAnn's looking for simple little needlepoint kits that I could throw in my purse for days like today when I'm running hither and yon. Both were, quite sadly, a total bust, and looked like the Easter Bunny and a master gardener had thrown quite a party up almost every aisle.
My second appointment was with Dr. Melfi, and it was there that I solved all of the world's problems and decided to up my meds. (Just to be on the safe side.)
Then it was on to the Targets to pick up a prescription and a Chap Stick because I am a total boob and left the house with only a wallet and cell phone instead of a proper purse, and God knows I am too addicted to well-moisturized lips to go more than three minutes between applications.
Finally...an appointment with the eye doctor. This one was a doozy and resulted in about two and a half hours in the exam chair with three different opthamologists peering into the back of my brain. What lead me there in the first place was a smudge in my left eye vision that suddenly popped up on Saturday. We don't know for sure, but it appears that Yours Truly might have had a small stroke (likely from dialysis) and I have a blockage/embolism on one of the smaller vessels of my retina.
Yikes!
My eyes are still terribly dilated and I have a bad headache from all of the poking and prodding and peering, so no stitching for me tonight. I'll watch the basketball with JB a bit and will then head to bed and start over again tomorrow.
Grasshopper Pie continues to completely enchant, so look for a continuation of progress...hopefully tomorrow. In the meantime, I hope YOUR eyes and needles are behaving and that you have a wonderful Thursday evening! Come tell me all about it!
On Coni! I am sorry to hear that! I sure hope everything works out for you.
ReplyDeleteCan a girl get a break?! Sorry to hear about your eye situation. You are being proactive and that is good. Please keep the stitching at bay until you feel better. When you mentioned grasshopper, I immediately thought of icecream. Yum. Relax tonight and here is hoping for a great Friday for you and JB.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter Coni!

TV and bed sounds like a good idea. Anything to just kick back and just chill! All of your doctors sound like they are very competent. Sleep well!
ReplyDeleteTake care of you! i hope that your eye resolves on its own.
ReplyDeleteOh my dear you just can't catch a break! Hang in there and keep doing what the doctors tell you. Wishing you a blessed Easter.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Thinking of you and glad to hear you are being proactive especially with the eye. I am praying that it mends and doesn't cause any lasting effects.
ReplyDeleteApplying chap stick often is a real addiction. I forget why I read it many yrs ago somewhere. one of my DIL's does it,too. She really does apply it about every 3 minutes. Sorry to hear you have more on your plate. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh about the chap stick since I completely freak out if I manage to leave the house without it! Prayers that they get your eye problem sorted out and that it wasn't a stroke. Thank goodness you didn't let it go!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your problems with your eye - it really is just one thing after another! I'm glad you saw about it right away; hope that it resolves and doesn't cause you any lasting problems. Thinking of you and wishing you a relaxing week-end and a Happy Easter!
ReplyDeletePassover and Easter are times of the year to be reminded that miracles are possible, every day. God is mighty and put your trust in Him. Blessings to you.
ReplyDeletewhat will they do about your eye? hoping for a quick resolution and a happy holiday
ReplyDeleteI have a similar eye issue. Dr told me to use eye drops (they feel so good!) to keep eye hydrated. Also, I pushed to get lots of stitching done...all it did was make my eye really tired and stressed, which is bad. If your eyes get tired take a break. You'll feel so much better! Wishing you all the best. Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That is quite a lot to take in in one day. Hope you are doing ok!
