We learned today that Michael's good eye...(Which would be the right eye as he can no longer see out of the left one)....is getting worse...he has cataracts which are pretty bad in that eye which will require laser surgery...he puts a great deal of strain on this eye as it is the one that he can see at least partially out of....I am holding on to the hope that it will NOT get worse fast...but rather will be a slow process...I can't bare the thought that he will not be able to see at all....
Again I have to say that the kindness and professional way we are treated at the VA makes everything so much better....Finally seeing that our Veterans are being taken care of...especially those from the Viet Nam era...
We are holding on....things haven't gotten that bad yet...although I am aware daily that his short term memory is decreasing more and more....I hold back from saying...."I just told you that" over and over again....such a small thing really....but when you are use to having someone remember the day that you met and what you were wearing....well....can be difficult at times!
In the meantime we make some small plans....the weather is improving and we will be able to be outside more soon....and the birds are singing....Life IS GOOD!
Be Well...
rambles from the shadow side of life...About living...about living with dying....This is where my heart will pour forth...this is where my shadow will be exposed...this is where I will cry...where I will laugh...where I will become one with that shadow of life...

If you could bottle your positive attitude you'd have no more worries about paying for medical care! As always this post reminds me to be grateful for the things I have that I often take for granted.
Praying for lots of beautiful things to see and do in the days ahead. Be blessed. Know peace.
