Good Morning--To-day is Wednesday, September 30th-7am---VERY dark outside still-and seems cold, even in my tiny house--The washer is chugging away here behind me--The cat needs to be fed-her water is changed-- Lopez is down here with me but has snuck over to my sofa from his wee bed--He thinks I do not see him on my sofa-- Lordy Be!
So yesterday , because I cannot get in to see my own Dr., till Nov.11th, I went to an "eye" specialist, who examined my eyes and confirmed that I have the "macular" thing-- called a specialist in Sudbury to get me an appointment for the Macular surgery-- marked it an "EMERGENCY"----so, here I sit , hoping that I can see that specialist--and sooner than later--- such a "smosh" isn't it??--Fred would be freaking out--Hopefully things will work out -- must just take time--
Anyway, Words I wish I had written below--
#1. When you fight with a brother or sister, you are hurting yourself, because he or she, is part of you.
#2. A good education makes a difference.
#3.Be good to others.
#4.Famous people are not necessarily good people.
and--Blasts from the past!
Below--- This must've been sent from Son#2
Good morning, dear Lynda! It will be a warm cloudy day in Ohio. Lopez must love the couch. It probably has your scent on it and comforts him. I hope you get into your eye specialists soon! I’m deciding if I am getting labs next week and going to the doctor that I did not like last fall! Or, find a new doctor. Either way, I do not like getting labs done as you know. I always get that butterfly needle for a baby because I am one! I literally can’t sleep the night before. I must grow up one day. LOL! You have a wonderful day and big hugs!
ReplyDeleteAww--Don't grow up=-=just be "YOU"--I think yu must be "special"--LOLOL--It will be oK--just close yer eyes and let them do it-- Yu can do anything---once yu believe yu can--Lynda
DeleteIt is raining here now--Lynda
DeleteNo, actually, I'm quite the baby when I need a blood draw. If they poke me just once I am fine, but if they have to poke me more than once I scream get it out get it out and have to breathe first. Once, I received an IV and they were poking around more than once, and I threw up all over them, LOL. But I'm okay now, as long as they just go in once and it's done. But I don't like the feeling of the thing they tie around your arm. I always tell them I need to lay back first, and as long as I have told them, I feel better about it. Go figure! But I've never heard of a butterfly needle.
DeleteMarti
Yes a butterfly needle--justa small needle==Poor yu---having to go thru that--and good for you to throw up during the procedure--kinda funny!!-I think we all like to do that but do not--but--="YOU" did it!!--LOLOL--Lynda
DeleteRD in AZ here 9/30/2026
ReplyDeleteI pray that they get you in very soon and get things taken care of

Quote for the day

big hugs to you and the fur babies

and--yes--We have rain outside now!---Great quote about the pets--They try to be right ALL the time--
Delete"TRY"--Lynda
Yes for sure--just want my eyes fixed--was coolish here also--plus rain this AM--h==Sushi just came down--is meowing at my feet-- Lynda
DeleteMorning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteI do hope you are able to get into the specialist soon. I know that must be weighing on your mind to find out exactly what is going on with your eyes. I know it is so frustrating to have to wait so long to see a specialist. I have been there. It does tend to cause a lot of anxiety but try not to let it get to you. You got this!
On another note, I love all the pictures. One big happy family of people and pets.
Have a wonderful day! You deserve it!
Hugs,
Jackie
Ohh Jackie--What-a morning--called the specialist in Sudbury and she does NOT have the referral-- Crazy!--Now what??--Lynda
Deleteand we have rain--falling-- Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda, yes, sometimes there is a long wait to see a Specialist, at least that has been my experience. I do hope you can get in soon. All the photos are great, but my favorite one todays is Matt with Gerrard; it's priceless. The weather here is insane. Sat and Sun will be 100 degrees. What kind of weather is that for October? In a month we'll be having elections, and I'm hoping it means our government will be changing course. I hope you can relax and not worry too much about your eyes, but I know that's easier said than done. HUGS to you.
ReplyDeleteMaureen from California
Hi Maureen=-=-Hot here this AM-=hot this evening--l -kinda wierd weather-Hope I can get in soon too--get these eyes fixed--I must tell Matt that yu liked his picture--Lynda
DeleteMaureen I called the Specialist and she does NOT have the referrl--Now what??--Crazy--Lynda
ReplyDeleteand it is raining --Lynda
ReplyDeleteGood morning, sis!
ReplyDeleteWe may get up to 74F today, but there is a chance of rain...again.
SOAR...I love it! And the blasts, plane cockpit, birthday celebrations, stretching out with Gerrard, Himself...all the kids...you are very lucky.
I didn't know they now do surger for macular degeneration. I have it, too. (sent you a text message). We take our eye supplements. Did the specialist say it's getting worse. You read the eye chart to get your driver's license...right? I gotta look up that surgery and book my eye appointment...
More chores to do, too...so I will get to it. Feed your beloved kitty! 'See' you later as always. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
They do something-- I havent found out what yet--justy upset that I got Mom's Macular----and out of 5 children--It was me who got it-- Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda, It's Kathy. It's still quite warm here - going to be 75. Still dreary out but the rain has finally stopped. Very foggy this morning. I am catching up with everything today! Interesting your #1 statement - we never had a fight with Tom's 5 brothers and sisters, they all just stopped talking to us after his mother died. Apparently they all decided that because he wasn't working he should be the one to take care of her (he is definitely NOT a caretaker), we thought the house should be sold so she could go into a care center. I can't say I miss any of them - they were never very nice to me! Love your photos - such great memories! Have a good day.
ReplyDeleteThat's terrible, Kathy! All FIVE? Good riddance, huh? When I was dating my ex-bf, I loved his Dad, who had been a Sociology Professor - my major had been in Sociology, but his Mother is a cold WITCH. He was adopted, but still. They have a biological son, as well, and he and his wife seemed like they were full of themselves, but would at least deign to speak to me. Both of their boys are autistic, so they never spoke. So, good riddance to them all, basically!
DeleteMarti
Hi Kathy-very foggy here also--with rain off and on all day--kinda a weird day-- busy-- but--breakfast with Dave to-morrow-- still rying hard to accept my new life--Lynda
DeleteLynda, are you having trouble seeing, is that why you need to have it done ASAP? If they have no referral, then just call up the people who were supposed to send it over and tell them.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Marti
AWESOME advice of the day. I NEEDED THAT TODAY!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear you’re dealing w/mac degen. HOPE you can get in soon!!
Yes, famous people are not necessarily good people
Awwwww, lobe the photos, but my fav is probably Son #2 relaxing w/Gerard on the deck. Ummm . . . . they both look comfortable.
And Allison’s DD looks just like her (and she looks just like YOU!)
HUGS and prayers and blessings
