Rain Rain Go Away

Hurricane Sandy could destroy us all! That’s what the media loves saying at least. There’s a lot of envirnmental things going for Sandy that could let it cut a huge swath through the East Coast. There’s going to be a lot of damage but there is no way to tell what direction the storm is really going to take. If it does make a left tomorrow afternoon, it’s going to go right over us. I’m on a hill so flooding isn’t a huge issue, but the amount of water this thing could dump on us would overwhelm the local water ways and sewers. Hopefully it’s gradual and not too punishing. Winds could hit 70mph which is a crazy thought. Trees are going to drop like it ain’t no thing. Losng power is the greatest threat, the coast is probably going to get mauled. Can only hope we skate through this one, last years October blitzkreig did a number on us, took a good 3 full days for things to get back to normal around here. Sandy has the potential to do much worse.

At least it’s not coming tonight, there’s awesome TV on. Hold on tight.

Cornea Transplant: Week 13 or so

Went to my 3 month check up and the last stitch was taken out. My vision is still very blurry, which was a surprise to Dr. Perl as the transplant is very healthy and clear. Ran some tests to check for any internal (retina) problems and they all came up negative. The theory now is that the suture that goes around the incision area is causing distortion in the cornea. The suture isn’t coming out for another 5-6 months so it’s more or less a waiting game to see greater improvement. I’m still going to be on 3 drops of lotemax a day for 2 more months and the best news is no more guard over the eye while I sleep. That’s awesome as putting it on every night had been a chore after 3 months.
