Another Eye Surgery...

I won’t be able to blog as of next Tuesday so I guess I better finish up what’s been going on. Next Tuesday I go in for another PRK eye surgery. I guess when my eyes healed they did so giving me far sightedness rather than perfect 20/20 vision. I can’t say I am looking forward to this because I remember how bad it hurt last time. I do know one thing, when he offers to give me pain pills this time I’m going to take them! This also means I’ll be off work for a week. This makes me incredibly sad because I love my job so much. However, Natalie said it would be fine, especially since it couldn’t be helped. The other problem I’m having is seeing double. It gets so annoying to see two things rather than just one. It gets especially bad at night time, so I’m going to talk to Dr. Melton about it when I go in on Tuesday.

Last week I got one of my killer headaches!! It got so bad that they took me to the ER so I could get a shot to help calm down the pain. However, the doctor that saw me wasn’t very sympathetic. He said if I could go to work with a headache like this then obviously I wasn’t in that much pain!! If I would have felt better I think I would have told him off. But in any case I went to see Dr. Becker the next day and he gave me the shot that I had been longing for. Within 30 minutes my headache started going away! I felt so much better! I do think it’s time to go back and see my pain specialist thought. The headaches have been coming with more frequency here lately so I think it’s time to start getting the shots in my neck again. The bad thing about that is I’ll have to miss more work. We’ll see how long I can hold out considering I’ll be off work for a week. It’s important for me to get back to work the following week because our district manager will be in. I have to admit I’m a little nervous about it.

Ciara is over her strep throat now and went back to school on Monday. She seems to be liking seventh grade so far. Danny just about has the business up and running and should be working by Tuesday or Wednesday of this next week. He does have to drive me to the eye surgery appointment but it only takes a few hours. Rick and Kathy have stayed with us this whole week and it’s been nice to have the company. They are quickly becoming dear and cherished friends!!!

Well I guess that’s it for now. I should be able to blog again in about two weeks or so and of course I’ll want to update everyone on Anayah. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am about getting her!!! I’ve also decided after Anayah I want to get an Isabella female and an American cream female. That will give us a total of four females and one male. I think four litters a year is more than plenty. I’m starting to pick out names now. I love doing the research into the names and their meanings. I wish I had done that with Ciara although I still like her name. Ok I’m really going this time. Know I am praying for you and please keep us in your thoughts and prayers!!!
