I Want iPhone Apps That Work with Voiceover
Is that too much to ask? My friend Jim told me about an app called IMapMyWalk. So I go to the App Store and get the free version of it to try out. I was really excited about the app.
My Dad is Home, Now for the Hard Part
For those who don’t follow me on Twitter (@davidbenj) or Facebook (facebook.com/davidbenj) you might not know what I’ve been up to the last few weeks.
I Can’t See Very Well, But My Hearing is Still Good
We visited my parents today. We spent about an hour with them. After we left my parent's apartment, we were walking down the hall where a couple was sitting.
Who or What is Kane?
Todays delivery schedule took us into Wilmington with a styling chair and wall-mount workstation. We got a late start since we had quite a few orders to box up.
What a Busy Week
So it's been a few weeks since my last update. There were several times this past week I wanted write something, but I just couldn't steal an hour to do it.
Why Do I Bother?
Had a 9.00am appointment yesterday (Friday, 9 July) with my glaucoma doctor at Wills Eye Institute in Philadelphia.
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.
A Frustrating Week
Well, it has been a week of total frustration. Since mid-afternoon last Thursday, my vision has not been good. Every day when I wake up I hope that it will be better, but then I open my eyes.
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.
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.
Trade Show Update
As you can see, I haven't posted in awhile. Eliz and I went to a trade show this past weekend up at the Sheraton Meadowlands.
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.
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.
OCT Retina Test
What an adventure today at the Pagoda Building at 100 Presidential Ave. After a few minutes in the waiting area, we were called back.
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.
What a Day
My day started off with Eliz telling me that we had water in the basement from the all the rain overnight. While it's not too big of a deal, it wasn't the way I wanted to start the day.
Glaucoma Specialist
I had my glaucoma appointment at Wills on Friday. As Eliz and I waited, we looked through some magazines. I'm not sure what they were, but they had recipes and ideas to make family gatherings enjoyable while preparing meals.
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...
Socks
After I posted the Glaucoma Study entry, Eliz said that I should have talked a bit more about the socks task. At the school where Eliz used to teach and our kids went, they would call this the Socks work.
Glaucoma Study
Over the past year, Eliz and I have taken part in a glaucoma study at Wills Eye in Philadelphia.
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.
Voting & Anthem Institute (formerly Chubb Institute)
Today was primary day in Pennsylvania (uh, yeah, the polls have closed already... You missed it.) Eliz and I went to vote this morning on our way to work at our business, Salon Supplies + Interiors.
