3 Positives:
turned on the sprinkler system for the first time this year.. only one head needs to be replaced (instead of 3 or 4). The lawn got a nice drink.
T planted some additional tomatoes and peppers
going to church today
3 Positives:
2 cards finished — I like the second one better
T’s feeling a little better than the day before
cutting die arrived just in the nick of time
Our Journey Notes:
T’s eye appointment didn’t go quite as hoped. No discussion about future procedures other than a return appointment to clip another stitch or two in the left eye as the needle flap lift (last week) didn’t stay open. Dr asked T to continue to do the massage technique and its likely that he’ll have to continue to do it for the long term to keep the pressure down in that eye until they get this flap to work correctly. He has another appointment next week to clip another stitch or two to see if that will help. (The big question is how many stitches did he put in? He’s already clipped 3 in this eye if not more)
3 Positives:
attending graduation ceremony for a grandson
time in the studio – changes in the build are working
sleep
Our Journey Notes:
MRI is now on the calendar for early next month. Let’s hope we get a few answers and not more questions. Grateful I’ll be able to see the results shortly after they are read by the radiologist.
T has his post-op tomorrow. He’s hoping the dr will discuss next steps regarding the cataract in his good eye during his visit. Fingers crossed on that.
3 Positives:
The tarp on the garden stayed in place last night.
Chili and cornbread for dinner last night… comfort food on a cold day
changed gears on a new holiday decor project and I think the outcome will be better
Our Journey Notes:
Spent yesterday morning at the clinic. Came away with appointments for some additional testing all of that will be completed by the 10th of June. Waiting on a callback for the MRI appointment. Migraine yesterday — didn’t help keep things on track for the rest of the day. Neuro referral on hold for the time being.
T is anxious for his eye appointment on Friday. I think he’d rather it was today or tomorrow.
3 Positives:
Family time
Fun coloring page for the grands – a picture of all of them turned to a pencil sketch in Photoshop – even the teens enjoyed it.
The youngest two remembering the birds from a couple of months ago: searching and finding it, asking for permission to see it.

a few more strawberries in the freezer for jam and smoothies

3 Positives:
T’s procedure was a success
time in the studio – all but 2 cards finished
we tasted our first watermelon of the season yesterday (YUM) and put 2 1-gallon bags of sliced strawberries into the freezer for smoothies.
Our Journey Notes:
T’s eye pressures are now in the acceptable range – hoping they’ll stay that way after the yesterday’s needle flap lift. Ted said this eye wasn’t as easy as the right. His eye hurt a little after the numbing meds wore off. Now to focus on the cataract in the right eye.
I got him to switch audio book services yesterday – he’s now listening to a new book. I put his other service on pause for 90 days to see which he likes better. He still has access to the other books until he can download them from the new service. Glad they carry that author as well as a couple more of his favorites and it’s a little cheaper and he can download several books a month without any additional expense.
Some things just evade me… the memory is gone unless reminded, but even then, I still don’t remember the time or day of the happening often. It’s definitely happening more frequently. Thankful for friends and family who let it pass after a correction. Another thing to add to the list for the neuro. As Mom used to say, “getting old isn’t for sissies.” I have creaks and pops where I didn’t have them before. The knees don’t like the stairs, especially in the morning or late evenings. The pain across the middle of my back is here to stay it seems and those tingles down the legs when I put my head a certain way… still there.
