jan 25 2011

I don't expect anyone to read this. it is simply a place for me to put my thoughts, at times, my anger, and probably most of all, wishful thinking. Having said that....



January 2011. so much done, so much yet to do. I am 57 years old (and a half) and looking at more surgery. Last year I had my right eye operated on (vitrectomy). pleased with the results. the left eye is pending. I finally had a breast reduction - after some 15 years of trying to get the insurance company to pay for it..... happy with results. It was never about the perfect boob for the body type - it was and is, about pain issues. No more spasms, back pain, rash, heat issues. I am very happy. Almost 6 pounds gone and from a 44DD to about a 40B. Now left knee problems. I see the surgeon day after tomorrow to set up an arthoplasty. To those not in the know, a knee replacement. I had the right one done some 10 years ago, not it is finally time for the L. sigh. I don't look forward to the aftermath of the operation, but do look forward to (after time) no more knee pain or issues. Once that is done, I'll have my left eye vitrectomy.



I've had more surgeries done these last 6 months than I've had the last 15 years. Not complaining. I'm getting older and the body is getting weaker. That is time, wear and tear. I'm fortunate I can have these things done when I'm younger and can tolerate it, and I'm working and have insurance to cover the costs. Can't imagine what I'd do if I had no insurance. well, sure I know. would suffer and not have things taken care of.

Our vacation has yet again been tossed to the muck. Looking forward to when we are both well enough to have a vacation. We'll have short camping trips, rock hunting and fishing... but the weeks worth of time to visit John and Susan in Texas has been axed this year. I can't see going to michigan for a visit, and I won't see Margo unless she comes here. Sigh.
