I had my second cataract surgery. I didn’t die on the table. I can see! I have binocular vision!. I have stepped out of a world of two dimensions into one of three. I can now see you’re here-to-fore hidden depths. Do I really need to write more than that? I guess so if for […]

Sick Day
My digestive issues have moved passed minor. I’m having what I used to call a Crohn’s attack but my current doctor says that I shouldn’t. It’s not an active inflammation, it’s an obstruction caused by old damage. I’m not in pain but I have not eaten since Thursday night. I have been spending most of […]
Choices
As I expected, I didn’t go out last night. I was able to eat but it was late. I had minor digestive issues. What I ate when I could will surprise many of you, Buffalo wings. Spices are not the sort of thing that bothers me and I need something tasty to motivate me. I […]
Yesterday I went for my second infusion. It went smoother than the first one but the “hour” appointment took almost three hours. It started the same frustrating way but this time it was more frustrating. When I arrive I sign in. When my name was called I was taken to have my blood tested. Last […]
I had a nice little edition planned for today. Today’s events have driven it from my head. That is not a good thing. Drama is only good when it happens to fictional people. My alarm woke me up as usual at 8:30. Between midnight and then my phone is on Do Not Disturb. I saw […]

Treebeard the Mnemonic
Back to being a health blog. Yesterday I had my first infusion of Entyvio for my Crohn’s disease. People are taking this news the wrong way. I did not get any sicker. I’ve had Crohn’s since I was a 12, you’ve never known me without it. I’m in one of the best periods of my […]
I have so much to write about and limited time. I could have said that each of the last three days when I haven’t written. Over the last three days I’ve seen three concerts and a basketball game. The reason I haven’t written is trouble sleeping at night and therefore sleeping late in the mornings. […]
I saw two different surgeons today so I’ll start with that. First I saw my ophthalmologist for my post-op for my left eye and the pre-op for my right. Everything looks good. If my insurance company approves the other eye this week the surgery will be on March 4, otherwise it will be March 18. […]
You know how you get stuck in a huge traffic jam expecting a big accident ahead and when you get to it you find a little fender bender and feel disappointed? It’s not that you wanted anyone to get hurt but you feel that something minor should not have created this mess. That’s what this […]
