I just learned through a fuzzy cell phone call that the cow that managed to get trapped on the ranch several months ago now has a calf–a little black one (baby must be cute; mama is a gorgeous tan). Hubby is not certain if mama and baby managed to make … Continue reading →
Didn’t get too far last night, but I did get started with Twilight. TECH, it isn’t just you. Blogger seems to be having massive latency problems lately. They’re becoming so bad, I’m investigating other blog software and hosting on my personal website. Eyes are hanging in there. I picked up … Continue reading →
TECH, before the surgery, my vision was correctable to 20/15, and my doctor’s goal, although he cannot guarantee it, is to correct my vision with the PRK to my “best correctable vision for me.” In my case, our goal is 20/15. It will be several months, possibly two years before … Continue reading →
I am very pleased to report the eyes improved over the weekend. They registered as 20/40 (right eye) and 20/30 (left eye) this morning when measured. And now that the bandage contact is out of the right eye, it feels very good. Of course, this means I have to return … Continue reading →
Last night I converted 15 pages of brainstorming to 4 1/3 pages of outline/proposal. Then, since my vision was having a good moment, I skimmed Maass’ Breakout Novel Workbook. It quickly became obvious I have a lot more work to do–but that doesn’t surprise anyone, does it? The story has … Continue reading →
Since I can’t see well enough to do the revisions I want to do, I decided I can still type. I mostly touch type (at least well enough to do quick fixes when I look back over what I’ve typed). I didn’t have any ideas for new books when I … Continue reading →
The right eye isn’t healed well enough to be released from care at Portsmouth yet. I tried to leave it with them, but they slapped another bandage contact lens on and made me bring it home. (I’m kidding, they were quite gentle.) So, here I am, fuzzy vision and all. … Continue reading →
I’m less blurry today. The fear that I’ve willingly blinded myself for life is beginning to subside. I have moments of clarity that support the plan that I’ll be able to see normally, without corrective lenses. This week hasn’t been much fun. There hasn’t been much I could do. People … Continue reading →
Frustrating day for me. Vision is blurry, doesn’t seem to be improving. Can’t see things close up; can’t see them at a distance. Fortunately, still no pain in the eyes. Mild stinging prevails. Tearing is less than yesterday. I could sit on the couch and see the larger Weather Channel … Continue reading →
Still nothing I’d really call pain. My eyes are tearing like crazy, causing my nose to run. I feel a slight stinging. If this is the worst there is, I have to ask, “What’s the fuss?” My vision is particularly blurry today, but that’s not unexpected either. I believe I … Continue reading →
