It's in the Eyes!
So, today, I took DH back to the eye doctor in Little Rock, which is about three or so hours from here. We live in NWA, which is the foot hills of the Ozark Mountains and it is beautiful up here. Well, Little Rock is all down hill. It's in the central area of the state and is somewhat flat and swampy and just not scenic. Leaving NWA, we drove down the mountain in what my grandkids call the clouds. The rain clouds had fallen and were lying on top of the mountains and looking out over the mountains made me think of thin whisps of white smoke.
Well, we got to the doctor and he examined the cornea and yes, yes, yes it is good. In fact, the doctor tried corrective lenses and my husband was able to read some of the eye chart. Now, he hasn't seen anything out of that eye, or at least seen anything clearly in months. So, with corrective lense, he could read a little. We go back on the 18th and the doctor will see how well it is doing and for sure in 2 months, he will get fitted for glasses to improve the vision.
We are looking at the second cornea in early fall.
After going to the eye clinic, DH and I went out to eat and took a walk down by the river. Then, we headed home. I have to tell you that DH kept saying, wow, I couldn't believe that I could see the eye chart with the lense. Of course, the doctor isn't giving him glasses until two months more of healing but just knowing that he will see better has made my tired old man walk with a little spring in his step. Today he is very much improved both mentally and physically.
Oh, and when we got home, DH said, I have a gift for you. He handed me a package that he had next to his chair and he bought me a new gown. He said one of the women at work shopped for him. Actually, the gown is just what I would have bought. Yeah!
