i finally feel up to writing today. the dr says the removal went well. i had a post op check this morning and he says its healing well and to come back in 3 weeks. so i go back in mid aug. it still makes me sad that my kids dont call to check up on me . not once have they called to see how i was doing after my retna detached in dec.

makes me wonder if they will even be there when i die, at this point i would say probly not.

my voice is bad today .my acid reflux is bad. my hips are so sore. it feels like there are spikes in my joints . i can hardly walk today. i still have chores to do and to finish dinner. i want to nap. its not a good day for me pain wise. i have no idea how i will feel when i need to get a psw to come in and help me with basic things...like getting dressed, or showering.

i did go visit a neighbour across the road for a tea. we sat outside and chatted. it was good to visit someone again. i was only out for an hour but still nice to sit outside for a bit with out feeling like i was being watched by the neighbour we are having the issue with.

i miss sitting outside and listening to the birds and watching the small animals moving around in the yard.

i will go see the optomitrist in a couple of weeks to get the other lens in my glasses done. hopefully it will be the final step to me being able to see clearly again. i am doing good right now for it being barely 24 hours . the dr said it should get better over time. i am just glad he had no issues getting the cataract out . i was scared the whole time and kept thinking i wish i had a book to listen to. it would have helped keep my mind off what they where doing. but i made it and thats all that counts.....
