A Challenge

The clocks have been set forward so now there'll be more evening light. It makes life better for some of us who are in various stages of macular degeneration because we need plenty of light to see. But there remains another issue for me. Last May I noticed a vision change so I was referred to a specialist. I waited. And that was a challenge.
Since November 23rd I've known that the implanted lens in my left eye has shifted and that a correction is needed. Why? Because the silly eye is duplicating, even tripling images. No one seems to understand how that can make me very tired. Just imagine how hard the brain works to help me keep my equilibrium and allows me to read and write and blog. I'm actually loosing weight even though I walk less and spend more time just lying around watching a big screen TV for silly entertainment to keep me busy as I wait for the call from the eye doctor.....a challenge!
Last Wednesday I went back to my GP to find out what's up. She cannot tell me why things are not happening but she says the referral to the surgeon was sent and she'll resend the referral from the specialist to the surgeon. The wait goes on. And that's a challenge
The past two weekends hubby's confined himself to bed rest because something's not right with him. That worries me because of his ongoing battle with his heart issues. He's afraid to have bypass surgery recommended this summer and I suspect the pain he complains about is related. Still he refuses to believe that could be a factor. That's a challenge for me.
Now while hubby's resting there is no one to drive to the grocery store. Since there seems to be more light (energy too) I opted to take his car and drive to the local supermarket to fill up the shopping cart with much needed goodies. I also stopped by our local Walmart to buy new bathroom mats because Buddy's shedding skin tends to mess them beyond restoration. Once I got home I was happy but so bushed. It was a challenge to unload the car and fill the shelves and the fridge.
When it was time for supper I kept it very simple after the above workout. We had lean turkey brats placed in plump panini buns adorned with hot deli style mustard, a side of ready made mixed salad with walnuts and fruits as garnish and a dessert of fresh pineapple. Easy,tasty and not a challenge because I had just shopped.
Hubby requested chicken noodle soup so I pulled out a pan and got to work. No challenge there because it was hubby's turn to be pampered.
Today he's better and I'm having left over soup as I type. He and Buddy left for the office a while ago. They got a ride. My challenge will be to pick them up while it's still light out.
I can do this.

P.S.  Art is doing much better and will be starting cardio rehab this week. He hopes to be blogging again soon. Robert is in surgery today and has left you his message.
