good, great and greater

3 Positives:
Surgery on time yesterday – grateful it wasn’t his good eye they were working on.
AC tech called — we have an appointment for…. Friday!
We have fans that are super helpful in the mornings
Cold supper – chicken, 2 salads, and watermelon for dessert
BONUS: Studio time today, I hope.

Our Journey notes:
T’s surgery went as planned… but dr still worried about the pressures (IOP). He hopes breaking up the scar tissue helped, but he still couldn’t see a reason for the bleb not to be working. Patch and shield come off this morning at the first post-op and a first IOP reading. Let’s hope it’s down where it needs to be and stays there from this point on. T slept for most of the afternoon. His nurses for the day were amazing! We listened to another episode of the Ken Burns Civil War documentary on PBS last evening. T seemed to enjoy it and had some additional interesting tidbits to add from things he remembered from our visit to Virginia about 15 years ago.

Good energy is Contagious!

3 Positives:
Sleep – and lots of it.
a little reading time
Grateful! Fans to the rescue!*

Our Journey Notes:
T has the time for tthe time for check in at the surgical center on Monday. Sounds like a packed schedule for the day.

The shingles shot did me in again. Fever, headache and lots of pain at the injection site. Same as in April. Happy to be done with the vaccines for now. Feeling better this morning. Lots to catch up on today.

*The AC went out. No callback from the warranty company as it was a holiday, so calling the emergency line this morning. The temp on the main floor is in the 80’s still — we have windows open, ceiling fans going and two large fans trying to circulate the air.

Never hurts to keep an extra in your pocket

3 Positives:
BLTs the first of the season
a little more sleep than the night before
Even though yesterday’s studio time didn’t turn out as hoped, It was a good attempt.

Our Journey Notes:
Second Shingles shot in the books for me. Vaccinations done until fall. Arm is hurting a lot — it wasn’t a gentle stab.
T has today and Monday off. Pre-registration for the surgery on Monday completed. They didn’t ask for payment during that process, so assuming we’ll get that on Monday when he checks in at the surgical center. This site is more expensive than the other – but is closer to the dr’s office. Let’s hope they have the correct paperwork this go round. A previous time, wrong name and wrong insurance.

You have more power than you can imagine

3 Positives:
Lunch with 2 sisters and friends – it was fun
Envelopes and inserts printed and ready for the stack of cards – the personalizing has begun
New bday card ready to try out. We’ll see how that goes…. LOL

Our Journey Notes:
T signs consent forms this morning – surgery is on Monday. Let’s hope this procedure works and we can then focus on getting the right eye cataract done and some new glasses that hopefully, will help him read screens and pages in books again.

No additional word from the dr yet on the referral for the Spinal Orthopedist following the MRI last week. I guess I’ll wait another week and touch bases with the dr and have them press the button again on the referral if I haven’t heard anything by next Friday. I don’t imagine that I’ll get an appointment before September. So, in the meantime….
