No More Face Down

I went to the surgeon's office yesterday  (19 Feb.)and he was very pleased with the results of the surgery he has performed on my eye.  The gas bubble is still there but it is getting smaller and smaller each day.  My eye drops have been reduced to one (Prednisolone) two times a day.  He also said that the pupil will take a number of weeks to return to normal.  Ethan was very curious about how the surgery could have been done so I asked the doctor how he did it and he said just go onto youtube and type in eye surgery and you will see how it was done.  I did do that and I am amazed at the what and how it was done.  More and more of my sight is returning each and every day but the gas bubble still interferes with my sight.  I wonder how many cadaver eyes have been used for surgeons to practice on and perfect their approach?
Last night we held Roots Magic Group but after a bumper attendance last month we only had two persons show up.  We wonder if it was the threat of a heavy snowstorm that kept people away.  It is amazing just how many inches were predicted - anywhere from 3 inches to 20 inches expected in our area. It is snowing while I write this blog but it is just the flakes the size of a grain of rice and it is not sticking to the ground.  For one, the ground is warm and so the snow does not accumulate and for two, the weather man doesn't seem to have hit the nail on the head with this predicted snow storm.
I think I should write the weatherman on TV and tell him that he does not scare me, I have children.
I have been asked to be on the nominating committee for the new board for the Mountain Top Quilters Guild.  This is a daunting task since I do not know many of the members.  I knew them all when I left in September 2011 but in the mean time the group has severed ties with the Arizona Quilters Guild and built a complete new entity.  It is populated with a whole new group of women and we had 90% of them show up for meeting on Monday.  The show and tell for the day was about 30-40 women armed with quilts that were in various states of completion.  There were some spectacular quilts among them.
The first thing I did when we returned from the Surgeon's office was to pack up the face-down chair and the bed apparatus and joyfully pack them back in their boxes to send back to Michigan.  The UPS man came by and picked them up.  The company claims that they pay the shipping to and from the patient (in this case, me) and I think that reality speaks out that the cost of shipping to and from is included in the rental price.  Nothing comes for free - in any aspect of life.
