Marion's Retirement

[Maid Marion]

I just got back from laser eye surgery to repair a retinal tear that was causing flashing lights when I jerked my head from sneezing or a poor golf swing.  One of the patients commented that we had similar clothes as he sat next to me--he was wearing an orange shirt and I was wearing a hot pink fleece jacket, so made a similar comment in response.  Later he clearly gendered me as "she" in another waiting room.
The good news is that the doctor said there are no restrictons on my activities.

Sounds nice Marion!

Glad the surgery worked out well.

I had a similar issue, but the retina never got pulled loose. As we age, the gel in our eyeballs dries a bit, so it tugs at it. It cleared up on its own, so no surgery.

I am glad you were able to get it repaired. Isn't technology wonderful? Got a tear in your retina? We just take a laser and weld it back together.

My tear was the result of being really near sighted. 

I wore practical pig tails since I knew I'd have to lean my head back against a cushion during the operation.

My ride was a co-worker that I hadn't seen in years as he retired six years ago.
While we were waiting we spotted another co-worker that has been retired even longer and he got to meet up with him!

I bought a pretty floral cami!  Retail therapy!

Made some adjustments to my diet since my HbA1c is a little high.
Started eating carrots at the beginning of the meal to add more fiber to my diet rather than something sweet.

I'm learning to love retail therapy. I do better at clothing and shoe stores.
We went a new farm store with my granddaughter yesterday and my wife had to walk up and down every isle. I got a little frustrated with that. I was able tonhave some good time with my granddaughter. We had to look at every chick in the pens.

and my wife had to walk up and down every isle.

My uncle calls it "fingerprinting". My cousin must walk through the store and leave her fingerprints on every item. She can't just run in and get a few things. Nope.

Sometimes it seems she has to touch everything.
