Surgery is scheduled!

Greetings, Troupers.

I talked to Karen yesterday, and her eye surgery is finally scheduled for 7/12! She said they actually wanted to do another measurement thing beforehand, but since the next open slot was 8/30, she got them to agree to do it before they do the surgery, on the same day. That will be good, as she is supposed to start teaching on the 30th at TU.

I am hoping to be able to go out and visit and/or lend a helping hand after the surgery, although I hope she and dad won't need me too much, as it is right in the middle of the vacations scheduled at my job - I recently was 'promoted' to working about 30 hours a week, permanently, primarily so I could help cover those. So hopefully they'll manage ok, and I will come visit once my co-workers have all had their breaks.

That's all the news for now that I can think of, so hope everyone is having a great summer!

Oh Em Gee, a blog!

Mmmhm. I have not updated this in a while. This is mostly because Karen is kind of living quietly still, but she is doing very well over all. She told me the other day that she met with the surgeon who will be performing her eye surgery, although I'm not sure exactly when that will be. Probably early July, I think. I'm sure it can't come soon enough though for Karen!

She has been out on, I believe, approximately 10 trips with a friend on his Tandem bicycle! She said she has very much enjoyed that both for getting out of the house and for being back 'in the saddle' so to speak. I am happy she has had a good time doing it.

In other K-news, recently her kitty Morgan had a urinary tract infection, so Karen was a bit worried about that, but once she went to the vet and got on some meds, Morgan was doing much much better, which is of course a relief to Karen as well. I guess Morgan has even warmed up to Dad a bit, probably because he bribes her with fishy treats ^_~

Not much else going on with her and Dad, although I am going to Fort Lewis for a few weeks in July, so hopefully that trip goes well. Should hopefully get to see our cousins while I'm there, although it is a working trip. Oh and also I did finally find a part time job delivering car parts here in the Hornell area - it pays some of the bills which is better than losing my UI would have been. Hoping the hours pick up after I get back though. That's about it though.

Also, as I don't get notifications when I get posts on here, please do not click on the Chinese ones, as they are icky spam and I keep forgetting to check and delete them...
