Winter weather visited us and we had our first hard freeze this week plus some icy rain and even snow!
I had my appointment with the eye specialist on Wednesday afternoon and got a fairly good report.
Macular degeneration is moderate in my left eye and just beginning in my right one.
Cataracts not ready for surgery yet.
Dr. Dharma did all the testing and dilated my eyes and two hours later I was leaving there and heading to Walmart to pick up a few things before the cold weather hit later that night.
I think everyone in Irving was out trying to 'pick up a few things' because it was a zoo!
I left the house at 2:00 on Wednesday afternoon and didn't get home until after 6:00 that night.
I had to drive home in the DARK and with my eyes dilated!
It didn't help that when I came out of Walmart I couldn't find my car!
The third row I searched was where I found it and a Walmart employee was helping me look.
He was so sweet and loaded the things into the car for me.
I was so glad to get home safely and Louis Dean was out walking up and down the driveway watching for me. I knew he would be concerned.
We hunkered down and have enjoyed the weather - except for Tabitha getting out TWICE!
Even in the cold snowy weather!
I couldn't go out and chase after her so I told Louis Dean she would have to come to the front door and knock if she wanted back in - and she did.
Louis Dean has been singing and playing music for me and last night he finished up ALL the pecans for our trees. He stayed uo all night and didn't come to bed until 6:00 this morning. AND he was back up at 9:30! It's nearly 9:00 as I write this journal entry tonight and he just went to bed.
I'll be going there myself as soon as I shower and wash my hair.
We are having company tomorrow and I have cleaned house, done laundry and planned my menu.
Chandy and her family are driving from Snyder, Texas to visit with us and Louis Dean will be playing music with Chandy. She is excellent on the autoharp!
It's been a peacful week and we have stayed all warm and cozy here in our still decorated Christmas house!

This is a very handsome photo of Louis Dean. I have the same kind of macular degeneration that you do, moderate in both eyes! I am hoping it does not turn into the wet kind! ZERO degrees here last night! I cannot even imagine driving dilated in the dark. Dilated in the dark sounds like a good movie title, don't you think?
