We had his follow-up appointment this morning and all is well. He can definitely see better - YAY!!!! The pressing problem now is that while his vision is much improved - it's not perfect - and he still needs correction for that eye. Basically - his current glasses don't work for that eye anymore....and it'll be approximately 3 weeks to a month before he can get new ones. He has to finish healing before they'll check him for a new prescription. We even talked about popping that lens out of his current glasses so he can still use the glasses and have the correction for his other eye. He thinks it'll look stupid (and it will, lol) But I think that's the temporary solution. Geeze crazy stuff.
Shame on me --I keep going into these surgeries thinking all will be perfect afterwards and it isn't....but we are definitely further down the road than we were.
Next problem - he's going to need the surgery on the other eye - so does it make sense to get glasses in between the two surgeries? Not in my book. BUT he's got to be able to drive and work. I think he should get contacts but he's so against them because years ago he tried the hard contact lenses and remembers how he could never get accustomed to them. I keep telling him how easy and comfortable they are now - so I think I can convince him.
Maddie is still in heat. Cowboy is still going nuts, lol.
The goat who was injured is sooooo much better! The muscle has smoothed out from the huge baseball sized knot that was in there. She uses that foot very well now, but I think there will always be a problem with it. You don't even notice her limping at all, but if she moves fast that joint still knuckles over. Not as much a it did - but it still happens.
I'm about to turn the goats loose in the area that was formerly a garden, lol. It needs to be cleaned up and I can, maybe, think about a fall garden of sorts. Too hot to worry about it right now...
I actually took a little nap this afternoon. I've never been able to sleep when the sun is up - but lately I'm trying to learn how, lol.
I'm still dragging after getting up at 4am yesterday. Even thinking about an early bedtime tonight!
I think contact lenses for the interim is a great idea! I used to wear the soft ones they are awesome. He can also then wear one in the "good" eye only, which will help his vision, while he's waiting for the other eye to heal.
Hang on!!
