Time is on our side

[RosaLinda]

Hi everyone! Thank you all, especially you Nero, Jaye, Cadet, uRw, Magic, WBW, Bright, Rose, FY, rH, Snodderly, Wonka, Bea,   for checking on me, it was so touching to read all of your messages! And thanks uR for updating everyone on my progress. 

The eye surgery went well. The surgeon originally scheduled to perform the operation reminded me so much of Chico Escuela on SNL back in the 70's, and I kept expecting him to say "baseball been berry berry good to me!" He assisted the new surgeon assigned to my case, who has perfected some new method of reducing astigmatism, and used my eyeball to demonstrate it to surgeon #1. Yikes. 

My vision was gradually improving until Thursday night, when I developed flashes of light right after my mother in law had finally gone home. She is wonderfully supportive but was driving me crazy forcing me to eat constantly and yelling at me when she caught me checking my email on my phone so I could keep up with everyone's sitch. Trying to focus well enough to write more than a few sentences gives me a screaming headache so I'm doing a bit at a time. 

I was supposed to drive to NJ to meet uRW and Nero for lunch yesterday, and the surgeon had okayed the drive, but instead I had to trudge back for more tests. Outcome is my eye is all swollen but still  healing nicely, but I'm back on the original no bending, no lifting, no reading, no computing restrictions. Reading the forum and emails and kindle on my CELL really isn't the same thing as doing it on the computer is it!

I'm happy to be able to report that my H gave me a real 2-armed hug goodbye, not one of his usual 1-armed stiffly-holding-me-as-far-away-from-his-body-as-humanly-possible  hugs, AND sent my MIL a text asking how I'd made out as he was boarding his plane, AND sent me an email the next morning letting me know his plane had landed safely but 3 hours late, he'd arrived at his flat, and was exhausted. Nothing since then, but that was more than I expected. 

I figure H and the Russian are probably having a sort of honeymoon reunion this weekend, and everything will be exciting and fun until they're more comfortable and start letting their true non-internet personalities show. 

It looks like I missed a fun party last night! If you all are recovered from your hangovers, I have a big pitcher of frozen margaritas and some chicken wings to contribute! Cadet I know all the words to Saturday Night too!
