Today was dads first chemo. It's a higher dose than last time so hope he tolerated it okay. Mom hasn't said anything so I think that means it went well. We're all really stressed and distracted with the transplant so close.
I went and got contacts today. It was amazing the difference in sight once I figured out how to get the contacts in (it only took me four hours). :D I went outside and it was like BOOM! I can see!! Everything seemed so crisp and colorful! I guess you get eyesight like mine when you're a bookoholic. When I went to school after that; I was constantly amazed at what these contacts can do. I was yapping on at my friends that I could see the board, I can read the clock, yadda, yadda, yadda. One of my friends, his favorite song is the pinball wizard by The Who, was trying to get my attention. Well I completely didn't hear him; so he said " we know she's blind, deaf....", at that moment I turned around and said "huh?", "....and dumb, but can she play a mean pinball?" I laughed so hard at that because he is the only person that would ever say that.
I love all of my friends who support me and love me. I love you all! Hugs and kisses and ta ta for now!
So glad you can see Sar! I had no idea your eyes were that bad! Love the blog! Love you! BWhite
ReplyDeleteI remember those first days of true sight ;) When you realize the trees do indeed have leaves and it IS possible to see the board in class. Congrats!
