This 'n That

It is exciting to read updates from family and friends. I fear I do not have much to contribute but will try to keep you up with anything significant in my life! My ability to see to read has deteriorated in the last 3 mo. and I cannot read the computer screen with my glasses. So I saw the ophthalmologist thinking I would come away with a new prescription and would get new frames this time. Not so fast--a test showed I have a "leaking" retina and some swelling. So it was off to see a retina specialist. Praise the Lord, I am in early stages of "wet" macular degeneration and can have periodic shots to stop its progress (90% success rate). I had my first on Tues. The eye was numbed so there was no pain, yet I had do look at the needle coming into my eye (right). Cecil has had shots for some months and was worse than I--he has improved a lot. I hope the next posting will not be about me and my ills! I had a call this morning from an agency that serves the !aged! asking if I needed a call from a nurse. Gratefully, I do not need anyone---yet! My trip to the Salvation Army Senior Camp near Tahlequah was a joy. I attend the Salvation Army Senior Center near me for lunch when I am not otherwise occupied. It was a moving experience to have a tour of the U.S. submarine (WWII) the Batfish. I am so grateful for our service men and their gift to us!

I'm so happy you've jumped on the blog train :) Great to hear they are doing something about your eyes. Hope you continue to do well.

We love you and miss you dearly. Want you to know there is an open invitation for you to come to Indiana for Christmas. The Fishers and Fullingims are all congregating at my house this year for the holiday.

Love, Melissa
