So, I have bad news-- --well, it could be worse --so, it is not SOOooo
bad--but-- sad news I guess--- I'll tell you really fast--You know my Mom had "Macular Degeneration-"-died when she was blind--blind blind---and------yesterday, I found out--- I HAVE IT TOO!--I was told a year ago, at an Optician--that I had it--but--I NEVER BELIEVED THEM--so did absolutely nothing about it--a year ago that was--a whole year ago--It has not affected my vision--yet------but will--in time--like soon, I suspect!--So, on the 5th, (soon)--I am off to Sudbury to see Dr Kent, and they will do whatever they have to do-- Andrew's wife's Dad is going to drive me--Lord love a Duck eh??-I kinda knew this was going to happen--could feel in my bones--
Anyway , life must go on-- so---
Words I wish I had written--
#1.Hope can be the best medicine
#2.The best advice is, do not give up.

DeleteGood morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteThe photo you took of the rain...there's a lamp shade reflecting...looks like it's in the middle of the tree trunk...funny!
Charlee is adorable in her party dress. The group photos show cousins and other relatives enjoying each other on your lovely property. The shepherds could be Beau and Tess. Those are the ones I remember from your blogs.
It's mostly cloudy here, a high in the mid 60s, cloudy but no rain.
I have my yearly redermination today to see if I still qualify for subsidized housing or if I will have to pay full price...or move.
Honey, remember...there are better treatments for macular degeneration now. It will be interesting to see what the doctor says. Just cuz your mom went bling, doesn't mean you will do the same! Stay happy and positive as much as you can.
You will enjoy your breakfast with Dave. And we do have those pets to love on.
Better email the boss (apt manager) now to see when she wants me to come to her office. Back later, Lynda...enjoy your day! {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
So do yu qualify Maggie?-==For the cheaper rate??=--I hope so--Lynda
Deleterain here alllllll day--Lynda
DeleteGood morning Lynda, I'm thinking about what you've written and a couple of things come to mind. Even though you were told a year ago that you had it, it must not have changed your sight very much because you can still see well enough to use your computer. When you renewed your driver's license, didn't they give you an eye test? If they did, you could see well enough to pass it. I know it's worrisome, but it was ages since your Mom had it and medical advances happen all of the time. So just take things one day at a time and then deal with what the doctor says on the 5th. In the meantime, enjoy your meal with Dave.Your backyard looks nice.
