But also why does ophthalmology have so many extra letters?
I edited an ophthalmology article today and was grumbling about that "h" after "op-". It doesn't need to be there!
Fingers crossed for Arthur!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I've noticed that in my current Couch to 5K endeavors I actually have more energy and endurance at 52 than I did 10 years earlier, and I attribute that mostly to no longer being laid up with excessively heavy bleeding roughly every three weeks, with an assist from the breast reduction surgery taking so much literal weight on my shoulders that it's cut my level of chronic pain by at least 75%.
That's wonderful, Susan. It makes it a lot easier to do the work when you see results.
Grace had a 2.5 hour ophthalmology appointment today.
Yikes, how does she tolerate these ordeals? I know she has way more experience than a person should have to have with medical procedures. But that is a lot. Even half hour eye exams are tiring.
He already sounds different, so I'm hoping that that bodes well for him going home like a normal baby.
That's wonderful. I am sure he will be happy to be back on boob.

She took a book and read. I re-read an entire novel while there. This doctor is amazing and fantastic and one we are relieved to see, but she is notoriously behind schedule with super long appointments. She spends way more than her allotted 15 minutes with us so I can't really complain.

I co-sign this!
Kat, is that “almost good enough to drive with glasses”? But yeah, if she’s legally blind that sucks.
meara, I don't know. When the doc said almost good enough to drive, I had such a violently negative reaction that she never said exactly.
That's still an insanely long time to wait, kat. Props to your patience, and Grace's.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to see the increase in focus on the before and mid stages, but there are a whole lotta folks in my predicament.
I'm fully on the other side of it now, and yeah, it seems to be considered a non-issue in general. Which ... it is not.

I work at an optometrist, and I have to use the word almost daily and *still* have problems spelling it right (and usually it's the L that trips me up!). I also have to explain the difference between optometry and ophthalmology pretty much daily.
want to wish ~ma to so many people!
Kat, my next younger sister is legally blind without her glasses, still managed to pass Driver's ED
bubble wrap for the accident prone, I really hate falling, even though I can sometimes control it, it gets the better of me too often.
hooray for Arthur!
for JZ, my parents were Catholic, too.
I know my mother was ready and anxious for a legit medical death because thinking about suicide is a sin. but, she knew she was ready when she died of pneumonia, after being disabled by strokes and CHF. she was also diagnosed with breast cancer, but was warned she might die on the table and she said let's do it!
My father only lived a year and a month longer than she did.. Again the idea of looking for the next train out of life would never have occurred to him. he was the more devout of the two.
So there might be a little of that hanging you up. but don't take the blame! it is NOT a sin to relax into the inevitable. all the passing gently ~ma..
The night my grandfather died I told my mother we’d be leaving the hospice at around 6 because ltc hadn’t had dinner yet. It gets to just about six, and I couldn’t make myself leave, my grandfather passed a few minutes later while I was in the room with him.
Yay for Arthur!
Whew for Grace and Kat.
JZ is in my thoughts throughout the day. It’s just over a month since my friend L passed, same disease, also with a high schooler, also a devoted loving husband. David, I am thinking of you too. So much love.

Oof, so hard. Love received.
