Gettin' Done

Yesterday we went back to the doctor (retina specialist) for the first follow up appointment. After waiting for over two hours in a frigid office we got good news. Everything is going the best it could be one day out. Ron and I asked several questions and felt better after we knew the answers. We return the end of the week for his next appointment. In the meantime he's lying on his side (23 of the 24 hours a day he's to spend on his side reclining) and I'm doing everything since he needs to keep the bubble of injected air on the torn part of his retina. That pressure keeps it in contact with the rear part of his eye and squeezed the fluid out.

We had to cancel the garage sale and it looks doubtful that Ron will be able to help if I have it next weekend. Our cars sit in the driveway and we can't get to the bikes or mower because of all the garage sale stuff. Fortunately the freezer is still accessible.

So today in addition to my usual cooking and cleaning I:
1. Programmed a new remote for our upstairs bedroom
2. Picked tomatoes
3. Laundry
4. Went to the store
5. Changed a flood light
6. Went to recycling
7. Worked on unpacking more stuff for the garage sale
8. Made a bunch of spaghetti sauce to freeze since we have so many tomatoes

Yesterday my college roommate found me on Facebook and we reconnected. It'll be fun to talk to her again. We watched a video (Cracker) last night.
