Vision Problems

Well, I am admitting to myself that I will not be doing any knitting for a while until I get my eyes operated on. I just had the worst experience in my life. I have known for sure since last November that I must get my cataracts removed in both eyes. The doctor said he would do the surgery in July this year. But! here I am and everything keeps getting blurrier. I have some moments of clear vision but most of the times things "bloom". That is when whatever I see has like a halo around it. It is worst when it is sunshining. I feel like I have a veil or vaseline over my eyes. I am calling the doctor Monday to try to get in to see him. I hope to get it done right away. So no more knitting until then. I will be back as I cannot stand being just a lump. Thank G-d that I have my dear sweet husband and son and my job and friends and mother. and of course, my online friends thank you all.

Solving the Mystery

I've been having leg weakness since I fell on Feb 3rd and landed on my back. It makes it hard for me to be my same ole cheerful self. Problem was that I was having trouble walking and even ended up in the hospital with medicine changes. This medicine change affected me in ways I didn't know would happen. Boy did it ever. I can't knit now with my hands shaking and my skin feeling like I have my hands in electric sockets. Shoot its not just my hands shaking. Sometimes, I will sit and feel my whole body shaking. The doctor said that will go away after I get used to this new medication. I wonder how long that will take. It's been 2 months already. The good news is that my mind is more clear than it's been in 20 years.

The doctor started the tests to see what's going on with my leg (yes the one with the new hip). Yesterday was the first test. that EMG was an unplesant test. At lest the MRI won't hurt. I'll just close my eyes. The orthopedic surgeon said it wasn't my hip but that he would see me Monday. You bet he will considering he should have seen me first. Then on Wednesday the Neurologist will tell me the results of the tests. In the meantime, I hope that it will work out cuz I'm starting to think that I want to start knitting again. I keep going back to what I like is the socks and blanks and dish clothes (boy I need new ones too) little things. Nothing fancy.
