Dunno how long...

Been along time between posts! All I can do is sleep with my dog...she was injured badly enough that someone has to be with her 24 hours a day.

Ripped 30 stitches from butt to knee, enough to have the stitches re-done 4 times. Now she's a donut head WITH pj's. Not much I can do but watch her day and nightl

A Month Since Last Post!

It's been more than a month since my last post! Not that I've been busy - just sleeping alot. It's gotten harder to type with view out of just 1 eye, so I'm guessing my left eye was my more dominate one.

We got 2 new goats to replace those we've lost over the last few years. The darker one is Ginger, lighter one is Spice. They are 4 month old 2nd generation Nubians and won't get much larger. Now, finally our lawn will get mowed and weeds eaten.

Hubby has finished building our front deck, it looks great and feels strong. I couldn't help much, just painting some of the lumber. Our deck is 100% made from our own trees. Now it's barn building time.

We've had about 10 fresh tomatoes so far, but the plants are loaded, just waiting for ripening. Also have had enough green beans for several meals, and some lettuce and garlic. Waiting for the corn to ripen, and a few more heads of garlic to get larger for winter storage. It looks like our potatoes didn't take root this year.

Well, enough info for now, will add more later!

1st Day Out of Bed!

So I've been hiding in bed the last 4 weeks, since coming home from beautiful Tahoe's dog camp. What an awful thing to do to my family! Camp gave me more energy than I've had in months, even though I needed at least a 3 hour nap each afternoon.

Went to camp with my daughter and her dog, Bamboo, a German Shepherd. He's a great dog, just a HUGE puppy, but Rosie loves him. They played alot!

Today was Dr. Day - had 2 appointments. 1st one with pain dr. 2nd with regular dr. Both advised that I need to get into some sort of counseling immediately since all I can do is sleep and mourn over losing my sight.

We'll see - I did the counsel thing a couple years ago, and liked the counselor fine, but the idea of having to pay medical costs to have someone listen to me talk sort of bothers me.

Let's see - other things today - wound up from trip, didn't sleep much, only 2 hours.

Another thought on another day...

Yup, Blind For Sure...

Well, it's confirmed! I am most definitely blind in my left eye. For some reason, it has not bothered me mentally at all. Being bi polar, you'd think that this would really put me in a downspin, but it hasn't. No mood swings, weird racing thoughts, or anything yet. I suppose that someday I will go through all this once the loss hits me and I begin the grieving process. But as with my Fibro, it may take a few years for this to happen.

Had an appointment with the ophthalmologist yesterday and it's funny to have 20/15 vision with my glasses on, but still not be able to see a pinprick of light out of my left eye alone. I have an appointment with my primary care dr. tomorrow and she will check the smashed bones in my face and try to figure out why my sodium level is so damn low. Even with 3 IV bags full of sodium laced water IV'd into me, it barely came up at all!

I still plan to go to Tahoe with my daughter, her dog and my dog (not the one that drags me around). I'm teaching her to jump through a hoop now as a trick. Camp will be fun, I can't wait! My daughter will come pick me up a week from Saturday and we'll leave early Sunday, the drive is about 8 to 10 hours. ---------------> GOOD DOG!

Feels like nap time - this is the time of day that the sun comes in my west facing windows, and feels good to nap in the sun.

More later...
