Tuesday

Well... if that isn't a riveting title...

I don't know what is!

Draws you right in, doesn't it?

I continue to amaze myself with

my writing skills...

Hahahahahahahahahaha...

Whatever.

Yesterday Rod had a re-check on his

glaucoma since the last time he was

REALLY tired and actually fell asleep

during the test.

Hey.

They turned the lights off!

What did they expect?

Anyhow.

He stayed awake this time and did

better, but his vision is still non-existent

in the lower left quadrant of his one eye.

They other eye compensates for it

so he sees fine, but when you test each

eye individually, its pretty apparant.

And then his pressure was up in that eye as well.

And was up a little last check as well.

It's been 10 years since his last laser treatment.

So his Dr. suggested we repeat the laser

and get ahead of this rather than chase it later.

So Thursday morning at 8:30 he is going

in for another laser treatment to release

some of the pressure in his eye.

She said since it worked well the first time,

it generally works almost as well the second.

And then the next time it will likely require

surgery - but this should hold that off for awhile.

Years, maybe.

Prayers would be appreciated!

Meanwhile...

"Stubby" greedily ate all his breakfast this morning.

(He dribbles, so I feed him on a paper towel bib...)

(Stubby is a good uni-sex name since we have

no idea of his gender at this point. We are going

with male, just because...)
