Eyes and more eyes

[ivyskeep]

Hub had to have emergent retinal detachment surgery last week. He's not a happy camper. He's had one post-op appointment and has a follow-up appointment next week. We're trying to remain optimistic that it won't severely affect his job and he has some vision left in that eye. He's going a little stir-crazy since he can't drive. I have to work, so I'm not able to drive him around except to his appointments. If the weather is okay this Saturday, maybe I'll drive him to Chik-fil-A. He's having withdrawals.

Our dog needs a cyst removed from each eye, and her surgery is scheduled for January. 

Otherwise, things have been quiet. I've had a pleasant Yuletide so far. I do small offerings of water and incense each day to Heathen deities, ancestors, land wights, etc.  

I hope the new year finds you all well and refreshed.

Eek, eyes. Wishing a great recovery to your husband—and the dog.

Thanks so much.

Ouch! I had a coworker who had had that surgery, but either before I met him or while he was working on another continent. IIRC, he too had some vision left in the problem eye. He worked as a software engineer, and was managing fine as of when I became aware of this - long after the fact.

I hope he does well, and doesn't go *too* stir-crazy meanwhile.

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm glad your coworker was okay.
