Today’s Name Day:  Valter

Had an eventful day.  I was up at 5am.  Ate a cookie but the coke upset my stomach.  KN picked me up at 620am & off to the Salina Hospital.  Super nice lady checked me in.  I was worried about not having my insurance cards but they had all my info so no problem.  Then sat in a waiting area in the main lobby of the hospital.  Then the got us & we each got a room & chair to sit in.

Next the nurse assigned to me had my eye drops.  The ones to numb my eyes were the worst I have ever had.  They stung like hell.  Then eyes were dilated.  When my turn they came took me to a room with the laser.  I sat in front of it with my chin on a part of it & my forehead against another part.  The nurse pushed on the back of my head so I could not move it.

The laser did not hurt at all.  It made a clicking sound & I sort of felt it through my body.  Each eye got maybe 10 - 20 clicks.  I saw red circles that I stared at.  Then it was over.  One more cleansing eye drop & out to the main area of the first waiting area of the lobby.  And I waited for KN to come get me.  And home I went.  Glad I had brought my very dark glasses.  Light bothered my eyes a lot.

    

I was hungry so had lunch at 10am.  Then went to bed at 11am.  Slept until 3pm.  Kisse was in the bedroom & Cinder came to cuddle later.  Missed her.

My eyes at times will see better but sometimes still blurry.  No discomfort at all.  They just do not feel normal.  Tomorrow should be ok.

    

A sweet young artist who was here several years ago was good friends with my eye surgeon.  I was his driver while here & before he went back home to South America.  He was at my doctor’s house then & I went to say goodbye & he gave me 2 paintings as a thank you.  She & I had a nice visit about him today..  She is going to visit him soon.  I miss him.  Now he works in politics.  Cool.

Supper soon  Chicken noodle soup tonight.  I have been out of that kind so will enjoy.  Rain starting to move in to Kansas now..  See if we get a little rain.  Not much is forecast.  Mostly a warm weekend. 

Photos are a mix.

Today’s Name Day: Karl, Karla

     

    Last day posting here.  Laptop comes home on Thursday.  I cannot wait!!!

    Stayed too warm last night.  Had to turn the heat down.  Way down today.  Way too warm.  House is ok at 74F now.

    I woke up feeling sick.  Did not last long.  Think it is nerves about tomorrow laser procedure..  Wish it was over,  Set my alarm for 5am.  No bueno.  Rest of the day was ok.  Little worse now but sure it is nerves.

    I managed to take a little nap.  I doubt I sleep tonight.  Dang.  During my nap I had several phone calls all about my laptop.

    Hard to watch the news seeing our country & the harming of hard working people.  And trying to hurt people on Medicaid, grants, etc.  I am ashamed of us.  How can anyone hurt people who are needy & sick.  Ashamed. 😞

    I need  to go get the mail.  Too lazy to go,  But will soon.  At least it is warm outside.

    Rain starts tomorrow evening.  Need rain so desperately.  Most of Kansas still hurting.

    My brother’s photos are getting arranged for his show that starts on Friday.  He talks on Sunday.  Be fun to be there.

    Photos now.

SeeToday’s Name Day: Göte

This is going to be a challenge.  No laptop.  See what happens.  Hope I get mine back soon!!!

Cold again last night. But warm today.  Saw 41 driving to town.  Snow does not appear to be melting.  I think we have had snow on the ground for at least 2 weeks or more.  Not been like this for years & years.  I love seeing it all white.  And we have not had cold weather for a long time.

Lots of traffic in town.  Seems to get worse all the time.  Highway was not bad.  Traffic was not near me.  Behind mostly.  Timed leaving just right.

No Hutchinson today.  I did not get much sleep last night.  Cinder never left my side.  So sweet.  Maybe she senses my nerves.  I am feeling worse the closer “surgery” gets.  Wish it was over & done with.

I am on my iPad.  Much better than my laptop.  Easier to key on & it corrects my spelling correctly.

Done for today.  See how this works.

Today's Name Day:  Bodil, Boel

    I am not having a good day.  I am not happy.  I had a fun day planned.  Ended early.

    Slept ok but woke up with a bad headache.  When I changed out of my jammies I totally wrenched my back getting clothes back on.  Lots of pain & hard to walk.

    Worse is I feel like I am getting a cold.  Cough.  Hard to breathe.  Total paranoia about "surgery" on wednesday,  And scared.  I do not want to cancel.  DO NOT.

    Soooooo.  I cancelled eating out & going to hear my fave artist talk again about his art.  Will text him later.

    I took pain pills that are not helping as much as I want.  I am using 2 essential oils very often.  They are Thieves & Immunity.  Plus one called Breathe.  Hope they stop whatever is trying to make me sicker.

    Back better but headache worse.  FML.

    I gave up on my coats I bought this year.  The larger one is super warm & too huge.  Dang.  The smaller one is too small.  I can wear a tee shirt but no more.  Hard to get on & off.  I always wear a sweater cardigan but no bueno.  Last night I picked a coat with no hood in the larger size  Hopefully that will be the one.  Comes today sometime.

    Got to feel ok tomorrow.  Laptop goes in to be worked on & I need to go to Hutch to sign papers.  I can nap in the car after that if necessary!!!

    Got cold last night & 32F now.  The house is cold.  Turned the heat up a bit.  See if that helps.

    Wintery photos.
