Dudley's Sister Has Had An Exciting Twenty Four Hours ...

She was at work yesterday morning slaving away at her computer when she noticed one of her eyes suddenly started acting funny. She was seeing all kinds of floaters which became flashes of light and then darkness in one eye. Needless to say she became a little concerned. She called an opthamologist that she knew, who is on her insurance. She went over her symptoms and was told it sounds like you have a detached retina and she was told to contact a retina specialist immediately. They referred her to one and she made an appointment for yesterday afternoon. She went to the doctor and he examined her and said she had a torn retina and she was scheduled for surgery a little after seven this morning. The surgery went well and she is at home resting now. Dudley's daughter went over to stay with her for a few days as she has to take it pretty easy for a while. Lizzie will have a great time, she can play on the computer, watch the big screen t.v. and play with Aunt Lo's dog. She can also drive Aunt Lo's Equinox all over town running errands for her and her Grandmother. Big Sis I know you could use a nice vacation from work but isn't ripping your eyeball out a little extreme?

Joated she should be able to see just fine when they take the pirate patch off of her eye.

About Me

Name: JDP

Location: Fort Worth, Texas, United States

I am 61 years of age, married with two children, a son age 31 and a daughter age 28. I was forced to retire in 2001 due to health problems. I was diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy a short time later. I worked for fifteen years in the Insurance Claims business. I then worked for about five years for the State Of Texas Department of Human Services. Being disabled and not working is the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life. My respiratory system is weak and I have to sleep and breath with the aid of a Bipap machine and an oxygen concentrator. This has all but stopped me from making overnight trips away from home due to the equipment being bulky and not easy to move and set up. I have for the most part had to give up the things I loved to do the most which were hunting and fishing. I also can't drive my 1983 Jeep CJ-5 any longer because it has a standard transmission. It is now in my son's hands. I hope he takes good care of it. Being disabled sucks. I am taking it one day at a time. My children are a blessing though they can be trying at times. We have an american eskimo dog named Foxy we got from a rescue organization and a stray cat my daughter named White Kitty.
