The Latest Event Here

About four years ago, my right eye, the better one, hemorrhaged. Since then, the left eye has been doing my writing, including these blogs. Then on Wednesday, two days ago, I awoke with seeing a rosy glow in the lower left corner of any window of sunshine and on the stainless steel flatware as I removed it from the dishwasher. (The spoons looked like Christmas ornaments.) My retina specialist just happens to be in Boise on Thursday afternoons and had a spot for me late in the day. The bad news is that my writing eye has hemorrhaged too. The good news is that on Tuesday he will give me a shot right into the eye, that he says will let me continue my writing. Don’t worry, the area will be numb for this procedure. He has done thousands of these treatments.

However, my vision is better this morning. I am typing with font size 16 (on the processor), rather than 20 bold needed yesterday. I tested that then, but did not really write anything. But there’s a great blog coming up soon, about Dr. Harf’s assistant who is filling in this summer, while the regular assistant took the summer off. The new girl (not new to the clinic, of course) turned out to be a former student of mine in humanities, as well as sophomore English. Two years of me! There’s more about her soon. But today the window-cleaning man is to come out at 11:00 and this afternoon, the new pantry is to be installed. I must ride my bicycle before they show up.
