Quick update

Quick update: 

The good news is that cataract surgery on my left eye was pretty much a success .  The bad news is that my left eye is so swollen all the time so I can't see out of it.  The graft vs host disease causes my cornea to get rough like sand paper.  It irritates the inside of my eyelid and can cause sores.  My right eye is not the greatest either, but I can see some things out of it.  The doctor who did my cataract surgery is phenomenal.  She kept trying everything she could think of to help me.  I fear that we've tried everything and  I need to come to terms with the vision loss.  I have an appointment with the Yale eye specialist in July.  We'll see ( I won't very well) what she has to say.  

Peace out peeps and have a nice summer. 👀

Time is flying

Time is flying by so quickly.  I can't believe my last post was in November.  I'm still spending most of my time hanging out at home.  I haven't eaten in a restaurant in over 2 years and I think I've stepped into maybe 3 stores when the blasted covid numbers were down. I did perform stand up comedy on stage (Not virtually) twice at the Ridgefield Playhouse. I wore my mask backstage and had a disinfected microphone.  Cool, huh? It was incredible seeing my comedy friends in person and just being out in the world.  I've seen very few people since this whole thing started.  It seems like every time I start to venture out, covid spikes again.  Is it me?  I hope I'm not the jinx.

Health wise I'm doing okay. Not as good as I would like, but I'm getting better slowly...except for my eyes.  They suck.  I'm finally getting the cataract surgery on my left eye on Friday, May 13th.  Freakin' Friday the 13th.  What is wrong with me?! Since fate has given me the big FU, I'm giving fate a humongous FU back.  So there!!!!  I'm praying this will help with my vision even though I'll still have graft vs host in my eyes.  Do you realize there are different kinds of cataracts?  There's the elderly cloudy eye kind and the medicine, prednisone, screen eye kind.  I DON'T have the elderly kind.  WooHoo!!

One more quick thing.  I was eating almonds as my night time snack a couple weeks ago and cracked my tooth vertically.  Crack is an understatement.  I broke it in half and killed the nerve, so it had to be pulled,  Now I have to wait for my bone to heal to get the implant in August.  It's the third tooth in so...I'm moving to West Virginia to blend in.  I'm trying to eat healthy for my diabetes and I break a dumb tooth.  Do you know what doesn't break teeth?  Cake, cake doesn't break teeth. Ice cream doesn't break teeth, pasta doesn't break teeth, but NOOO, I can't eat yummy soft stuff.  Eggs are soft, I have high cholesterol, so they are limited.  I'll just eat salad...without carrots.  Delicious lettuce it is!!

That's all for now, please say a little prayer for my eyes.

Peace out Peeps 😷👀
