It snowed here in the valley and in the mountains
delicious soup on a cold spring evening
repaired the zipper on T’s heavy winter coat. He can now wear it today.

Our Journey Notes:
T’s eye appointment went as expected with just a bit of good news. Both eyes have stabilized, but the left eye pressure is still a little on the high side. Right eye is 20/80 and the left eye didn’t have a reading listed when I checked the visit notes. He’s down to two meds instead of the 6 he was on prior to the surgery. From the sound of things — he’ll continue with those for the long term.

I heard from my doctor about a med that he’d suggested stopping this year. His recommendation was to continue taking it until our next appointment this fall. I agreed and called in for a refill. The new health app makes it a lot easier to get answers and fairly quickly without having to call in and ask for a callback and have to go through a list of questions before getting to the real reason for the call. It’s like one and done with the app.

I’m still using lists to help with memory stuff. Routines are definitely helpful – and if I get out of sync, I can generally fall back to the routine fairly easily or check the list and start there and not get freaked out about having “lost my way.” Still tweaking the planner/calendar thing to tighten a few things up, but for the most part, we’re doing good at the moment.

ideas are forming
BP looking a bit better

Our Journey Notes:
BP numbers are definitely looking better, but still on the high side in the am and at bedtime. Lunch time has the best overall numbers. Today’s to-do list is a fairly short one for a Friday — so that’s a good thing and I should be able to spend some time in the studio working on a birthday card design. I’d like to try to get it done today if possible and have it checked of next week’s list.

T’s left eye is still swollen – but they were able to get the flap loosened a bit and the pressure down a bit more. Change in his meds again, and I fear that this will be something that happens every week until he’s released from his post op appointments.

a lovely long call with a dear friend
time in the studio to finish a project AND clean up the mess 🙂
all first of the month bills have been paid

Our Journey Notes:
T is really hoping for some good news next week as his next post-op follow up. Fingers crossed, and continued prayers that he’ll be seeing a little better in both eyes. Things are still a tad bit blurry in the right eye with or without glasses.

The to-do list for the week is nearly complete. Just a few more things left to take care of today and we can start on the lists for next week. My calendar is looking pretty full already as I make notes of what we need to take care of.
