o also forgot to mention, yes i had eye surgery... i also had the best anesthesiologist in the whole world. i didn't get sick at all. i also had the coolest nurse put an IV catheter in me without the numbing (it hurt, but she did it right the first time) and my veins REALLY SUCK. so anyway it went REALLY good. i still haven't gotten a good look at my opthomologist tho... he kinda reminds me of jill's dad.

i can finally open my eyes on my own today. i'm feeling pretty good. the headaches from the swelling are gone, and all the gunky stuff has begun to slow down. i'm REALLY REALLY REALLY hoping that i will be able to go back to work next week (VERY crossing my fingers) although i doubt it.

i spent my day today with my favorite newborn christine. i was there to witness her first bath! i also thought about how crazy it must feel to be first time parents. i felt a little wierd because i've seen my mom put my brother and sisters in baths and i knew pretty much what i to do...

i realized that i won't be too new to mothering when my baby comes... i don't know if that is a good or a bad thing, but i'm sure looking forward to it!

update: my eye

according to the doctor i've had my detachment for well over a year... and its been healing on and off and i have scarring in my eye. that is pretty big news, because scarring of the eye is a complication of retinal re-attachment surgery. the doctor has already told me i will need probablly need more than one surgery to save my eye sight.

to save my eye sight... sounds so scary.

recovery time is... six weeks!!! om my i will go crazy!

the doctor said the best thing to do is stay at home and watch TV but i can't/don't want to do that. i just started this job *cry*... so i asked then what i could do at work... and i've been limited to 'desk work' meaning that i haven't hung out with the kids at all (not even sit there with the kids)

i might have become diagnosed with retinal detachment.

its been a crazy little over a month or so... started at CYS, paul's thing, the miscarriage, and now this. i am omw (in a little bit) to the air force academy eye clinc so i can get my eyes checked. they gave me an early morning appointment.

will update later.
