Missing in Action

since I last wrote (one whole week ago) is my laptop is really busted and we are trying to find the cheapest and fastest way to get it working again. T he good ol geeks at Best Buy wanted $450 to fix if it is the hard drive. The man who ordered it for me a year ago
offered to work on it but he is not sure when I'd get it back because he is really busy.
My cousin offered to work on it.over Christmas but I need it sooner. obviously i can't work with m my professor on campus without it.. but there has been a change in the web site getting up, it maybe will not be up until May, I need to learn how something works with those who are blind and Sally's spring semester class will tech me
My pain in my back is almost gone now, it only hurts in my back when I walk, and it's still hard to walk but at least when I am sitting or laying i don't feel the pain
i was wrong in last weeks post about my eye appointment being this week and possibly hearing about the surgery, next Wednesday will be my three week checkup so it goes well I think I will get things worked out for my surgery but I won't make it before my birthday

Eye Checkup

Hello,
So all of you who follow my blog know today was eye doctor check up day stated in my last post. All looks great, no blood and my doctor is thrilled with how it all looks. My overall vision has remained the same but this was always up in the air if it would help my vision o take more of it.
I go back next week and if it still all the same (or no blood) I think we will start talking about the surgery, which is a cornea transplant and cataract removal surgery. Please keep your fingers crossed!

neurologist visit

I finally was able to get into my neurologist today. She thinks my sudden weaknesses are due to bendril which I was put on by a different doctor when I started getting severe itching from the methodone pain medicine. From my fall down the stairs I sprained my back and bruised my tailbone and those will just be a time thing.
Tomorrow is my eye check up, I think I have some new blood because my visi0n isn't as good as late last week and I also have "floaters" which are usually signs of blood but sometimes they are caused from my cataract, posotive thoughts will be much appreciated!
Hope everyone is having a good week!

Hello Everyone

Hello there,


Nothing new and exciting to write about, my life is pretty boring these days. My neck and tailbone are doing better but still hurt enough that all I do is sleep. I probably sleep 19 hours a day. My walking is a little better but not great, I've been advised to use a cane. My oldest sister and Jason and my babies will be here before we know it, you all know how I love my kids! Hopefully, I will learn how to post a few pictures. Heather and Josh will be going to New Jersey this year to be with Josh's family.
My web site should be up soon as well, I am looking forward to that but I hope I can keep it going and up to date! Everyone I hope you have a great week!

Laser Treameat update

It has now been almost threedays since I had the laser treatment on my left eye. Right after the treatment my doctor didn't even see a trace of blood bit I go back this coming Wednesday for a check up to see how it all looks now, my vision is definitely a lot clearer so I'm happy so far.
Since I fell on Monaay I have been unable to walk without help, my neurologist is out of the office this week so I went to see or family doctor today who just told me to go to Indy

Ar this time, we don't have many answers, or Even clues if my tumors have just had a rapid growth spurt or what.
