A Long Weekend in London

We've taken our kids for the first day of school every year since they started preschool. Why should it be different when our daughter started at Regent's University London? It was a fast-paced long weekend in London.

Why Do I Bother?

Had a 9.00am appointment yesterday (Friday, 9 July) with my glaucoma doctor at Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia.

The Blind Leading the Blind

Last week, we invited my parents over for dinner.  Eliz was making ribs on the grill, which both of them like, and there was more than plenty for all of us.

Almost Unbelievable…

As you've read here over the past seven weeks, I've been pretty frustrated and miserable.  On the way to my my cornea specialist, Eliz and I were talking about what I was planning on discussing with Dr. Ayres.

It’s Been a Few Weeks, Not Much New

I haven’t posted an update for about three weeks. In that time, my vision still sucks and I’m wondering if I made the right choice to have the surgery.

Play Ball!

For the first time in a very long time, I got a chance to hit in a softball game.  I've been looking forward to it since the middle of April, after my surgery.

Visual Fields Test

My appointment with my glaucoma specialist went well, except for the fact that I was back to the 20/200 line and even that wasn't as crisp as a my second PostOp appointment on 27 April

Second Post Op Visit

I was looking forward to my second visit to Dr. Ayres since the surgery on 15 April.  The last few days have been trying.  I began to notice that my vision was changing.

One Week After Cataract Removal

By this time last Thursday I was sleeping.  I guess I still had the pain and sleepy meds running in my system.  So I'm getting back to my "normal" routine.

EyeOp XIV Report

I figured that I've gone through enough eye surgeries that I can label them in roman numerals.  In fact, if I had some time, I'd probably do this post on video, with cool graphics and theme music like a championship game post game show.

One Week to Go

At some point next Thursday morning, I will be in surgery hopefully only having a cataract removed.  There is the chance that I will also receive another corneal endothelial

Surgery No. 14 is Set

Over the past 10 days, I've been to three different doctors.  I'm starting to feel like my parents.  The most important of the three was two days ago.

This and That

I've been waiting for this week since the end of January because I'm going to see the retina specialist on Friday.  I'm hoping he can do a PAM test on me.

Lots of Snow, No Power

It's funny how excited I still get about snow.  This winter has been a dream come true.  I have always loved going out into the snow.

Seven Years Ago Today

Okay, technically it was seven years ago yesterday since it is past midnight.  What happened back then?  I had a trabeculectomy on my left eye.

A Long Day

It has been a long day.  It started off with a trip to the retina specialist at 8:30 am.  We were a few minutes late, so only had to wait about 10 minutes in the waiting room.

New Challenges

Our holiday season officially ended yesterday with the celebration of Jake's 16th birthday and my dad's 92nd birthday.

My First Post of the New Year!

Okay, so you knew that title was coming.  The last two weeks or so have been a blur (even more so than normal for me.)

A Good Day

I don't often write about good days here, but today was one of those days that I wanted to share with the world.  It wasn't exciting, extravagant, or exotic.

One Year Later

So, today marked the first anniversary of my partial cornea transplant (for those that need to know specifics, I had a DSAEK procedure, which is a partial-thickness corneal transplant

Wills Eye Tomorrow

Okay, I'm going to try to keep this short...  I'm scheduled to see my glaucoma specialist tomorrow.  His name, fittingly, is Dr. Pro, and he is...

My Last Movie in the Theater?

Today, I went to see The Hangover with Jake and his friend Maya.  I "had" to go, since both are under 17, but in reality, I wanted to go because everybody I know that has seen that film has enjoyed it.

I Just Want to Be Like Everyone Else!

Jacob is going to camp in Canada this summer, so we need passports. Eliz and I pick Jacob up from school, then Jane from her school.
