good news and more questions

We just returned from the retina specialist, and after many tests, the doctor has ruled out any damage to Penny's retinas.

This is good news.

Now what we don't know, is what is causing the double vision and blind spots. So everything points at one eye being weaker than the other, or under developed - but none of the tests thus far have said this is true. Where we stand now is, the back of the eye doctor needs to talk to the front of the eye doctor, then they will talk to the pediatric eye doctor. Once this is all done, hopefully next week, we will probably head over to the pediatric doctor to see what he can see.

A very long couple of days for Penny - but she looks very stylish in her mandatory sunglasses and, as always, smiles through it all.

back at it

Still feeling a bit under the weather but much better. Unfortunately I have passed it on to Crystal, where it has really settled in. I have two major pitches today so I think that is helping me not to think too much about how I'm feeling.

This was the first real weekend without teaching and as nice as it was I felt a bit lost and just sort of laid around which I am terrible at. I think as time goes on I will find things to replace my time I would have spent teaching.

It was nice to not have to do anything - now I am noticing all kinds of things around the house that need fixing...
