Goings on

Seems as though this is another week of seeing doctors.  Today was the Retinal Specialist.  That means another injection in the eye.  I must be getting used to them - it didn't hurt as much.  The good news is that the eye is responding, the vision is improving, and that there is still some fluid there.  I was thinking to myself - sure, good news for the doctor - more money.  But he did say that it was good because that meant the vision could improve more.  I know when I don't have to go each month, there will be new patients to take my place.

Thursday, I go to Dr Poison.  Six weeks ago, I had a pretty severe vitamin D deficiency.  I have been taking a 50,000 mg pill every Saturday since then.  If my level is correct now, I will take a simple supplement.  The real kick in the butt is that when I had the blood drawn, I was given a sheet from the lab stating that medicare won't pay for the check.  It is too soon - regardless for the reason.  Great.  When there is a problem like this ...

My DIL gave me a "starter" for Amish friendship bread.  I believe today is bake day.  You mess with the starter for ten days, then bake.  It is absolutely delicious.  She made G some to take to the SSB for his birthday.  I am looking forward to baking it - and I hope I can find two glass loaf pans.  I don't usually use loaf pans, and the only one I know about having is, of course, six hours away at the SSB!

On the Simone front.  She has dodged another bullet.  Last night, we decided to have her put down today.  There was still no poop, and she is not interested in much of anything - with the exception of her food.  She doesn't "patrol" her back yard, and she spends more time in the bedroom in her crate.  She wants to sleep all the time.  We put the decision off for a day thinking that with constipation, she wasn't feeling well.

That seems to not be the case.  She is, at this writing, in her crate.  G is calling the clinic to see if Dr J is there.  I think this will be the end.  My mind says that it is time.  My heart says no.  I am not a reasonable one to make the decision.  I see a spark of life and am energized.  I have to rely on G at this point.  So we'll see.
