Footnote On The Beast’s Eye
TALES FROM THE BRAT FARM
I forgot to tell you about the eye that was so bad and the Beast’s early morning appointment. When I got up, I found the Beast already up with a big smile on his face. He had removed the lens on his glasses for that eye so that he was able to see. The eye that had been operated on was clear and he could SEE!!! He was so happy that he told me he didn’t want me to go with him to the doctor’s. He decided to leave at 5:30am so that he could stop at McD’s for some breakfast. I just told him to please be very careful because this ability to see for him could change. He swore if it did, he would call me and I could come and get him.
That’s the nice part about once again having a second car. I’m no longer isolated. Although he was seeing very well when he first got up, he found out that it comes and goes. The doctor told him that he won’t have MY experience because his surgery was more complex than mine and he had some stubborn areas that didn’t easily peel off. He is at least less panicky now that he knows his new vision will become permanent with a little time for it to heal. He’s being good about his eye drops so he should be fine within a week.
He’s a bit concerned about my upcoming surgery after doing some reading about it. Hell, so am I. I told my niece I want her to have my computer if anything happens to me and also gave her some instructions about a special folder she is to delete and then clear my history. I just don’t want the Beast to read any of my blogs. Many will hurt his feelings and anger him, too. I said nothing that wasn’t true but I’m not the type to rub his face in it, if you know what I mean.
I did talk to a nurse who had a husband that had just had the same surgery and he said it was amazing how much better he felt. It may be responsible for my constant feeling of being tired no matter how long I slept. We’ll see.
Love you all. Have a great weekend.
