Connie's Corner

Aging...and perfectly normal.

I had my eye exam yesterday after a five-year hiatus, and I did not even need my glasses changed. I am so happy about that. Pressure was 15 in each eye and only normal changes due to my age. The doc said she would be wondering what I was doing if things were any better. She did say I needed to return yearly, though...okay.

I was gone almost two hours, and Jim made out fine by himself. As usual, I have been worrying for nothing. He is making progress, getting in and out of the truck from his wheelchair almost by himself. I only help a little, mostly as a security blanket...for myself I think. We are practicing for an appointment with vascular on Friday. Physical and occupational therapy are continuing to visit Jim twice weekly and have been a tremendous help.

Our weather continues to be beautiful, a high of 83 yesterday, springtime, but we could still have some ugly cold yet. February has not been reckoned with, woe be to the groundhog. I am ready to get out the paint brush. The railing on our front porch is ready for a new coat. Warm weather always makes me want to visit Home Depot .

until next time...c
