I had a follow-up appt with eye specialist today and the result was good. No tears, the pull on retina is ok, the floater is becoming more transparent and the hemorrhage on the optic nerve has cleared. Still no lifting nor bending for 2 more weeks and I'm clear for a year unless I have more problems.
Mama received her passport and it only took 2 weeks. I was expecting quite a wait. I guess an 82 year old white female doesn't pose a significant risk to national security and she zipped right thru. She chipped her front tooth Friday, so yesterday was Dentist day. One side of tooth was repaired. Apparently she grinds her teeth at night and we have some more work to be done. So we'll budget that over the next few months.
This week is the week of Dr's appts. Tomorrow is my appt with the kidney specialist. I'm anxious to get this one behind me. Mama has follow up about her heart rate Friday. Can't remember if there is one Thurs or not.
We had some anxious moments Sunday. The wind blew a tree onto a power line and the large mountain to the south of us was on fire. Fire fighters from several counties fought it all night and they evacuated a five mile radius. One home was lost and one severly damamged. It's estimated that 400-500 acres were burned. If affected a large gated community that was being developed. No injuries - Thank God. They are monitoring hot spots at this point and the mountain is covered in a haze of smoke. There were 2 other major fires at same time. One at Black Mountain and one up near Marion , all from downed power lines. The wind is gone and it's going to rain today.
