Our Journey Notes:
T is having headaches from eye stress. They are now daily. He went to bed early last night after his last dose of drops for the day and taking the rest of his meds. Hoping he won’t have a headache when he gets up this morning. Change in weather in the offing.

No change in thyroid dosage according to the dr. Figured that was what he would say. No other recommendations at this time. I have a feeling he may want to talk after the MRI results are in late next week. I’m changing the dosage on the vitamins – half dose and see if the symptoms I’ve had previously return — If not, we’ll continue on that track. Still have another 2 weeks off of them so I can do the Dexa scan.

I did get yesterday’s “new” list completed for a daily to-do. Including cleaning up T’s email account. 22k unread emails dating back to January of 2025. It will need another purge next month and each month following to keep things down. So, it’s on the monthly to-do list now. We’ll see how this rolls out with another monitor on his computer. His laptop monitor just doesn’t quite adapt to the size he needs to reads a little more easily.

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.
