Beautiful Day

Hello! I am a little over a week out from my eye surgery. It is amazing how bright everything is. I had no idea how yellow and dingy the cataract made everything look. It has been wonderful to have a clear outlook on things. :) I do not wear glasses anymore, but do wear a contact in the right eye. It is amazing!! I am ready to have the other eye done. The surgeon said I was NOT a candidate for lasix or crystal lens, but this will help. Boy did it!!!

The anesthesia made me very ill. VERY. But, I survived!

I go today to get a procrit and am in need on it pretty bad. Pretty wild that I am so happy about getting a shot! I used to hate them, but now I am like WooHoo...energy!!!

I hope everyone has a blessed week!

Tracy :)

Happy Spring

Hello,

Tomorrow is the big eye surgery. I am a little anxious about someone cutting on my eye, but the rest afterwards, will be very appreciated. I have been feeling a bit run down lately, but I got my procrit shot on Monday, so I should perk up a little bit this week.

The surgery tomorrow will involve putting me to sleep, removing a cataract from my left eye and doing some laser on my right eye. Not sure what sort of eye sight I will have when it is all said and done. I know that my current glasses/sun-glasses will not work anymore. That should be interesting.

My fistula in my left arm has healed up very good and is now ready to be used. I went to see the kidney doctor last week and he said that he wanted me to up my lasix (water pill) to pull some of the water off of me that I am retaining. My breathing is not as easy as it has always been and I am pretty tired. BUT, the extra pills are definitely helping me. I do feel different. Not as swollen.

My arm is still numb on the bottom, but I can straighten my arm, which is good.

I am missing my Dad very much. It has been a tough week. I hope you all have a blessed week and weekend.

Love, Tracy :)
