Vision Update as of Today

 I met with the Glaucoma Specialist today to see if my eye pressure was stable and within range.  It was and I was greatly relieved.  Thrilled even...

The three kinds of eye drops I'm taking daily are my best bet to keep the pressure stable enough to wear glasses to see well.  In fact, well enough to pass the driver's license visual exam next week.  And if asked, I can submit a signed Vision Examination Form DPSMV2301 from the doctor saying I tested 20/40 while wearing corrective lenses.  That should be enough for me to renew my driver's license.   

As for driving, I haven't driven for over two years.  And prior to that I only drove locally to the tune of about 3,000 miles.  And most of that was short trips to doctors' offices and grocery store.  My wife drives everywhere we need to go.

But with me getting the Scleral Lens, my driving will pick back up.  Already, the Scleral lens has proven successful, and I can easily see the stars at night (something I really missed) and my beloved computer screen where I spend many hours.  But I can also see well enough to make sawdust.  Just yesterday, I finished making two of my popular Cathedral Birdhouses.  The two I made yesterday turned out beautiful.

But I'm also getting back into my cooking hobby.  But this time I'm armed with some skills in baking bread that I didn't have before.

And with the eye problems slowly being fixed, I can truly say I feel great going into my 82 birthday coming up in a month.  All my doctors say I'm doing well.  And believe it or not, I'm putting in some heavy-duty exercise on my Total Gym and both 5-pound and 10-pound dumbells.  Yes, as a matter of fact, I'm puffing up some arm and leg muscles.  And feeling great about it.

Now I'm looking forward to visiting my hometown.  Maybe soon...
