Surgery #2

Well, Mike now has two good eyes.  He had his second cataract surgery this morning and it went fine.  Now 4 more weeks of eye drops and maybe things will get back to normal.  I know Ron will be glad since he's the one that has been going over and putting drops in Mike's eyes every day.

Yesterday Ron and I drove to the Ikea in Frisco, TX to pick up some things for my daughters and some of their co-workers. We hired someone to sit with Mike and the trip let us see how that would go. We were gone from 8am until 6pm  and it seemed to go fine.  We didn't get a call all day and that was a first.  Mike enjoyed the company and this gives us some hope that maybe we can try to get away for the weekend or over night.  We've both decided that we absolutely need a break or we are going to burn out.  It's good for Mike as well.

We are sure tired though.  The fast trip yesterday and then up this morning at 4 am.  I'm about to crash!

I’m so glad everything went well with Mike’s second surgery. It will be nice for you and Ron to have a break and get away for a bit.

I am glad to hear that the cataract surgery seemed so stress free and successful. Selfishly not just for your sake and Mike's. May be facing that myself and as much as I have said I can't wait, not that push is coming to shove, I feel nervous.

It really is an easy surgery but anything involving your sight does cause some anxiety. I just kind of looked at it as if I don’t do something then blindness is inevitable so I took the risk. But I waited until I could no longer drive safely.
