Good morning!
Been home awhile from my eye Dr appointment. I do have wet macular degeneration. Dr started treatment today. I can barely make out the keys to type, as they dilated my eyes. I had more drops put in than I ever had my entire life. Then came the treatment. A shot in my eye with the medication. Now that sounds horrid, but it was totally painless. I had talked myself into doing this because of necessity and figured that the pain would short, but there was no pain at all. Just as the Dr said. So I will need to do this again in 5 weeks and they will check to see how the eye is healing. If this works as he thinks, the intervals between shots will be stretched out. So doing much today is not on the docket.
It's been a sad day here in Utah, as a officer on duty was killed. He had started a traffic stop on a semi, who then drove off, turn around that semi on the freeway and returned and hit and killed the officer and injured another. Currently there's a processional returning the officer home. Hard to watch, being the mom of one in law enforcement and fire too.
Well, I apologize for typing and spelling errors,
Hugs and prayers,
Jana

Re: May 6th
Good afternoon from a warm, but semi sunny, SW. Pa....We have had rain and it's supposed to continue for another 4 days but, in between the rain drops, it's pretty nice...I do have clothes hanging outside and as soon as I finish lunch, I'm actually going to go out and play in the dirt...
Becca, I know quite well how heavy those gardening bags can be...I had 15 bags of mulch in the car and I stacked them in front of my shed but when I decide to spread, I'll use the wagon to haul a couple bags at a time, unless Kevin is around and he can help...I also have 10 bags of top soil to spread around...My burning bushes are growing out of the ground so they need help.....
What kind of plants did you get? We used to have a huge garden but that's when I canned but any more, I might just plant 2 tomato plants in big buckets and keep them on my back deck. (within easy reach, lol).....Kevin still has a fair size garden and will keep me supplied with goodies...Thinking back, we used to plant pumpkins in my flower beds and have the kids etch their names in them when they were very small and what a thrill to see them when they were big....
MaryZ, that baby quilt will be gorgeous and well loved....Love blue and yellow together and would you believe, I have never made a blue or yellow anything...Maybe with the new baby, I can do green and yellow, need to think about it.....I really should go through my spices and dump most of them...I was never a spice user, just the regular ones, but Kathy does it all...Not sure how she learned to cook, surely not from me.....
Jana, so sorry you have to go through these treatments....Many, many prayers that it works...The eye is a magical part of your body, quick to heal and many don't know, you can touch your eye and it doesn't hurt...Working with the doctors taught me alot, I was amazed...My favorite story was when I was fitting and teaching contacts and I'd be sitting across from the patient...I didn't need glasses or contacts at the time and it was when the colored contacts 1st came out...I had a plano pair in every color and I'd put 1 color in 1 eye and a different in the other eye just to see how long it would take that patient to notice...Loved working with those doctors and still have dreams about the office.....
Val, sorry you didn't get to go to Lina's birthday party...I hadn't heard from Kathy, (maybe she's snowed in, lol)...But, I did see on the news, Donner's Pass was closed unless you had chains....the 1st time we were out there, it was well into summer and there was still snow on the mountains...I'm hoping to get out there sometime this summer, if I can catch her at home.....Sorry to hear your insomnia is giving you fits...Nothing worse than being awake in the middle of the night while everyone else in the world is sleeping...Maybe you need a glass of wine and then think only happy thoughts (easier said than done, I know)..Or do you read? I read for a couple of hours before turning the light out....
Lyn, Oh my, 6:00 AM is the middle of the night! My body doesn't function until close to 8:00 and then it's still sometimes dragging, lol....If I got up that early, my poor BabyGirl would be so confused, would just mess up her whole napping routine.....I do love to hear about your travels, so exciting and hard to keep up with, lol.....
Judi, did you get to that new doctor about your knee yet or did I miss it? Kevin has been telling me, his is feeling better but he still uses the Voltarin every once in awhile...He has been doing alot of walking, plays golf 4 mornings a week without a cart and is trying to keep active and he thinks, it's helping his problem....Years ago, he was a runner, ran the Pittsburgh marathon one year and I think that's where his problem started, but you know, most men have a mind of their own, lol.....
What a good friend you are for doing those G-tube covers....And what a great idea....
Chriss, I thought of you the other day while I was shopping....There were baskets of strawberries and I was so tempted but came home with out...But, we do have a restaurant that makes the best strawberry pie and the next time I'm out, I'm getting my piece of pie...One year, they had a sign out for Mother's Day and it said, "Your Mother called and wants a pie" so of course Kathy had to get me a pie and she did so until she moved, then she had Dan pick up one...Now, I just need a piece, not a whole pie, lol......Glad to hear "old" Moose is better...Just don't let Baby Girl hear you say, "old", she'll be 13 in July......After all that cleaning and rearranging, you need a night out along with your strawberry and whipped cream....Enjoy!
Well this isn't getting me outside and by the way, no one has come by and done my kitchen floor either...But, I'm going to hold out another day or so....I have a meat loaf in the oven and might have a baked potato or maybe just a veggie.....
You all have a great rest of the day..........
