Trip to Saginaw

Two-week check-up on left eye. Vision 20/25. She said that is very good. So, why am I still having trouble seeing things. There are two kinds of floaters--the usual ones that are pieces of the eye lining (something) and calcium particles. Only about 10% of people have the calcium kind and they are usually in only one eye. Being special, I have them in both eyes. She still thinks I'll get so used to them that I won't even see them, but it hasn't happened in the ten or so years that I've had them so far. They are also genetic (sorry girls) but they won't hurt you and won't make you blind. (They just block out some of the letters so you can't see what you are looking at.) The part in the parentheses is my words, not the doc's. I go back in three weeks to get my final prescription for new lenses. Then, on Nov. 2, I see the plastic surgeon to be tested to see if my low lids are affecting my sight.

Janet Markham went with me. She bought us lunch at Ya-Ya's. I ended up with a gyro. Then we went to Menard's to pick up some wood to make a cupboard for one of the bedrooms. Had a full, fun day.

Oh, Lita. I got my horse calendar. Some really outstanding paintings this year.
