I'm always happier when I come out of his office than when I entered it, and today was no exception. It was a long morning though and a crowded waiting room.
I have been having a lot of difficulty with my vision, so after a lot of testing, eye drops to numb the eye, etc., he removed a suture that was left in from the cornea transplant. I can tell a big difference already. I still have one suture left in the other eye which he prefers to leave in at this time, and that's fine with me because I have complete trust in the doctor. He said there is a risk of the suture breaking during removal, leaving a small part of it in the eye. I don't want that if I can help it.
He also assured me I could get my driver's license renewed. I haven't decided whether to renew in SD or to bite the bullet (an expensive proposition) and get everything transferred over to CA. This state has such drama with everything and it all costs lots of money. Where I renew my SD license plates online and get the sticker in the mail, CA requires various tests including a smog test. Then they charge an exhorbitant amount for all your troubles. I'm sure the D/L switch will be a nightmare as well. If I stay with South Dakota I think I will drive to one of the small town DMV's in the western part of the state, probably in July or August.
After all the running around and shopping on Saturday, I just vegetated yesterday. I think I needed that. Tomorrow will be the 4 wk point after my hernia repair, and I'm surprised at how much pain and discomfort I still have - not constant by any means, but enough to keep me from a lot of normal activities. Supposedly I will be able to resume exercise in two more weeks and I hope that makes me feel better.
The weather is beautiful, with several sunny days in the 70's to come. I wish I felt like working out in the yard. I'm afraid that my laziness will become permanent.
- Odds And Ends
I had to get up so early yesterday morning for my 7:40 appt. with the dentist, that I'm being super lazy this morning to make up for it. Actually I'm trying to finalize things for travel next week, and I've spent the entire morning doing...

Late yesterday afternoon Jeannie called and asked if I wanted to have dinner at their house - Donald was making enchiladas, rice, refried beans, guacamole, etc., all from scratch. I hadn't felt well most of the day but I wasn't about to...
- Absolutely Do-nothing Day
For some reason today I haven't been motivated to do anything. I dread tomorrow when I can't eat anything, and can only drink clear liquids. To me that will mean water and cranberry juice! It wouldn't have been difficult...
- Welcome Rain
Although I feel differently when it rains I know we need it desperately so I'm glad it's been raining off and on. Right now an ominous dark cloud is hovering overhead but I can see the clearing further to the west. I just haven't...
