jdmkleinMother is going in for eye surgery Thursday, August 22. The doc says the pros outway the cons and there is little to worry about. The worst that is expected will be that she loses all site in the eye. There doesn't seem to be enough left to do her any good as it is. The best that can be expected is that her vision will return to what it was about 6 months ago. Not good, but still allowed to drive by Iowa law. It is an overnight thing, not by necessity but because most people want to be waited on those first few hours. The doc said the only ones who go home the same day are the ones who smoke. She is relieved that the decision is made. Sis called tonight so we told her. Talked with Daughter and let her know too. i have not changed my reutrn date yet. Mother said to wait and see how she recovered before i did that. If there were any reason for me to stay she would ask, but she doesn't think there will be.
It was wet and cold today, so after the doc appointment we went for soup. It was just that kind of day. When we came home, i got the hoppin' john started right away. If it didn't get made today, most of the ingredients would go bad. It smelled so good, Mother had her dinner about 4:30. i held off till nearly 6, but it was a difficult thing to do. There is enough left for lunch or dinner tomorrow. If it doesn't get eaten for breakfast. Gave the recipe to Suze and i hope to heaven Master likes it cuz it could be a regular on our menu.
Tomorrow i am going to finish the christmas presents. Come hell or high snow. i hate having that hang over my head. i need to be thinking about the guy gifts and the littles' gifts, and something for Mother too. i want it all done before i leave, i want that every year but it seldom happens, so i don't have to worry about ordering and shipping and stuff.
Tomorrow is Mother's b'day. i don't know what to do to celebrate. She's got her presents. She's been out for dinners. Maybe i'll bake her a small cake for our dinner. Or maybe i'll get us some wine. i wonder what would go well with hoppin' john.
i have gained a pound since i've been home. Master won't be happy about that. i may have time left to lose that and a bit more before i return to Kuwait, but it will be very difficult. It is time for me to get back to my regular routine. i haven't ridden or swum or done anything more than climb stairs since i've been here. i could go get Sister's bike, but that's too much like work. i have to do something. i don't feel myself. Last night i had restless legs, and couldn't sleep. i know it's from lack of exercise. i have no excuse, i'm just not doing it. Probably punishment when i get back. No probably about it. Punishment for sure. Drat.
