OT: Ramble and update

Well I just want to start this rambling with saying THANK GOD I HAD THIS SURGERY!!!  The things I have learned about myself these past few months and the people I have meant since I have started this journey, nearly a year ago, are priceless.  This past weekend we moved my MIL into an assisted living facility and I learned that I am a great Daughter in Law. I am proud of the fact that I stayed with her all day while the guys moved her things from one place to another. None of the other 4 SIL's showed up. 'phewey on them.... Today I went down to spend some quality time with my sister who has a severe liver disease and really needed some sis time with me too. She said she was proud of me for all I have accomplished these past  few months. That made me feel so good. My sister has baiscally given up and I keep praying to God to show me or help me with the right words to say or know what to do......being with her today was one of His answers. Last week I went to have my eyes examined and learned that I have a problem with my eyes. I have a condition that is called Keratoconus, which causes the cornea to become cone shaped and thinner, disrupting the visual function.Which basically means that if gone untreated, I could go blind. Tomarrow we are going to start with a contact lense treatment. I have never worn Contact lenses, and I sure I will be fine, but a bit nervous!  Anyway, these are some things that have been going on in my life.  Oh, I did start gonig back to therepy a couple of weeks ago and although I am not to excited about going, feeling kinda raw afterwards, its something I promised myself that I would do, so I am following thru..... Anyway, if I don't respond to everyone or congratulate a new accomplishment or goal, please know that I am proud of each and everyone of you and congratluate and support everyone.... Thanks in advance for letting me ramble on..... CarolN

Ah Carol! You are an amazing person! My heart just breaks with your sis's story. I hope she does okay. I don't know what I would do without my sis. She is my heart. She is my best friend. God I love her so much.  I wish you luck with your eye sight. I will pray for you that all goes well.

God bless,

Lori

Bless you honey! You really are an in every aspect! I will say a special little pray that all goes well tomorrow. Contacts aren't so bad, just keep them moist and you'll be fine! See you on the 24th!! Sherry-

Awww Carol.... you are a wonderful person and Im happy that YOU are starting to know that! Good for you for doing all you can for others, but beyond that good for you for doing for you as well! You deserve all that comes with this surgery.

 

Good luck with your contacts!   Im sure youll be great!

 

Hugs sweetie  :)

Good morning dear friend.....you have been very busy...no wonder I haven't heard much from you lately. But then I have been keeping to myself a lot lately.   I am glad you got your MIL moved. I am sure it wasn't totally what she wanted but it is the best thing for her. I wish her well. That was sweet of you to spend the day with her...I am sure she valued the company. Sounds like Micki isn't doing any better. I will keep her and you in my prayers. I hope God can help to change her thinking around soon. She needs to think positive and keep busy. Her birthday was Saturday wasn't it?? Sorry your eye test didn't turn out so well. I wear contacts and if I can you can....most of the time I am just too lazy to put them in or I forget completely until I am on my way somewhere. Now that I work out of my home I just don't wear them as much. I hope they help with your eyes and that you are seeing more clearly with them. We do need to get together...time to do measuring again....let me know what works for you sweetie.  I miss our time together!! Have a wonderful day!! Hugs  connie d

Good to hear from you, Ms. Carol!!!  Sounds like you're living life the way you ought to, you should be proud of yourself in so many ways, taking care of yourself AND others... HUGS!!!  And Happy Thanksgiving!!! 

Carol!  You ARE an amazing lady!  Your beauty radiates from the inside out!  You should be prooud of yourself!  I will be praying for your sis and your eyes! 

Hey GF!!!  Great to hear from you!!!  Prayers for you and your contact lens -- they are a breeze once you get used to them.

And you really are a wonderful person so people telling you shouldn't be a surprise.  We all knew it!!!
