Could we please have a little spring weather??

Now that would be good for the soul! Great being back home but getting ready to enjoy looking at water instead of a huge field of ice on the lake. It shouldn't be too many more weeks. We are enjoying college basket ball-- especially the Big Ten. We are Spartan and Buckeye fans with attachments also to the Hoosiers and U of M. That must sound very twisted!
So what about the eye issue? We went to ECP on Thursday, and the nurses and our PA Tim were concerned about the bleeding in the eye, so Ron was not able to have his treatment. Instead we went back to the Kellogg Eye Center to have the eye rechecked. They best described it as a big bruise on the eye, and it should clear in a week or two like a bruise on your skin. I was thankful to have it rechecked and appreciated the conservative approach to cancel ECP. To me it appeared to be more raised by that evening but the same this morning. This bruise is on the eye which does not have vision.
We have been stopping in Spring Arbor on our trips home from Ann Arbor to have lunch with Ron's mother who is 92. She lives in assisted living close to Ron's brother. Rick is her go-to man for groceries, appointments, coordination of services for her, frequent visits, and those quick visits when needed to fix her tv remote, lift chair, etc. They include her in their holiday festivities. Priceless.
I am very much hoping that next week's appointments are uneventful. It will be good to touch base with the doc regarding insulin dosing and this week's events. It feels like we are back on track today.
