ONE MORE PICTURE

Just one more picture from my trip with Debbie. On our last day we had breakfast in Gilroy (Garlic Capitol of the World). We ate breakfast at Minis. We really pigged out. We had huge bowls of Oatmeal, toast. A huge muffin that we shared. We also wanted Strawberry-Banana Smoothies. We did not realize how huge they were. They were delicious.
I had my Cataract surgery Monday on my right eye. It went just fine. Today I went back for the day after checkup. The doctor says my eye looks great. Hopefully I will be a little more relaxed when I get my left eye done. I didn't really think I was that nervous when I went in yesterday but when the nurse took my blood pressure it was 180/77. I was shocked. My blood pressure usually runs around 128/70. I said to the nurse I was probably going to have a heart attack. She said "no you aren't" because we don't have time for that kind of paperwork. Anyway, by the time I was relaxed with the IV, my blood pressure was down to 135/72. The real nuisance about this kind of surgery is the eye drops. Three different kinds. I have the chart they gave me to keep track of when and which drops to take. I am doing eye drops 4 times a day. It will be at least a month of drops by the time I get the other eye done.

Anyway, the good news is that I can see so much better. The colors are so vivid and I can see things at a distance and really make them out. I am sure now that I can tell the difference between a tractor and a red flowering bush and I am sure I will be able to see a Squirrel on a tree. It just opens up a new world when you can see good.

Donna and I are going to Relief Society tonight. The meeting is about food preservation, canning, etc. Donna and I are supposed to answer questions about canning. I have canned thousands of jars of food over the years. I started canning on a Kerosene stove when we lived in Moses Lake.
