I’m Here
Really . . . I know it’s been a bit quiet over here, but that is just life in this house at this point. We all go through things, right?
Hubby has been a bit down since his cataract surgery - oh, the surgery went well and his recovery from THAT has been all good . . . but . . .
He caught a bit of a chill up in the big city while pumping gas. From there it was kind of all downhill - he couldn’t get warm for several days and huddled under his blankie in his chair sipping echinacea tea and taking vitamin C.
As if that weren’t enough, then he discovered a sore on one of his toes - as you all know, diabetic foot ulcers are NOTHING to play around with. He immediately made an appointment to see his doctor and got some antibiotic cream for the toe. He also brought home a script for hyperbaric treatments. They have helped heal foot ulcers in the past.
Then, of course, my mind went a little crazy . . . would getting all that oxygen treatments blow out his eyeball from the recent cataract surgery?????? A call to the big city docs was in order. I was reassured that the treatments would NOT cause any harm to the new eye. And, so we go on one day at a time.
In the meantime, daughter, Lessa, has flown the coop to CA to visit friends and family - leaving us with her treasured children. We are blessed big time.
