Eye Issues

So last, last Thursday, I took the kids to the eye doctor to get their eyes checked before school starts. They were super fine. Then it was my turn. The doctor is looking in my eyes and then starts putting numbing drops in my eyes and then puts a shining blue light on my eye. He is telling me that I have a hemorrhage in my left eye and that he needed to dilate my eyes and take a picture to see it. It was freaking me out and I think it freaked him out too because he does not see this every day. So I came back on Monday to get them dilated, it was joyful. First I could still text and play games on my phone and then I was blind as a bat. I had a visual field test done before they were dilated and then some bright flashy pictures taken of my eyes. He even numbed them still and looked with the blue light thingy again. The pressure in my eyes were 24 and 27 and the hemorrhage indicates glaucoma. I guess that I lost some of my side peripheral vision because of it. That makes sense because I have been having these problems. So, now I have to use these eye drops all month to see if it takes down the pressure. If not, laser surgery on my eyes. Awesome, ya not so much!

So..here's to the best birthday present ever.

We stayed at the Rode Inn. People in RV take pride in that John Wayne lived out at the 26 Bar Ranch. In the lobby here is picture of him in the 4th of the July parade riding a horse. We thought it was cool. While I was out having dinner with my high school buddies, Clay took the kids around RV and took pictures of them. This is the the Madonna of the Trail. It is a memorial to pioneer mothers. I just can't imagine crossing the plains even with my two kids. It is hard enough taking them to Walmart and anywhere else. After the dinner for the reunion, we went and watched fireworks. I thought they would be lame like ours as they used to be. I was quite impressed. Yup, we are heading home. Well atleast to the airport in Albuquerque. It was about 3 and half hours from RV. This is a natural arch monument. We liked the drive. We especially like driving real slow and watching the prairie dogs. This was a casino and gas station outside of Albuquerque.
