been thinking about eye drops a lot…

in January or February of 2012, George had cataract surgery on his right eye… it made a huge improvement to his vision and he did very well during and after the surgery… 

the cataract came on very quickly and he kept thinking that he had something in his eye so we were very happy to discover that was the problem… saw a wonderful doctor, got on the list and into and out of the Misericordia in record time…

the one difficulty he struggled with was the eye drops which started out three times a day at the beginning and were still happening twice a day even when he went back to work…

he just couldn’t put them in by himself, lol… so it became my job to administer the drops…

I’ve been putting drops in my eyes every night for many years as I’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma… once you start taking them you have to continue forever…

recently I was doing some work in my computer photo library and came across a photo I had taken of his eye just a few days before his death… it was very close up and showed the sparkle that was always there…

here’s one that always makes me chuckle… 

Eyes…

the very last picture I took of George was of his eye… he was a week post cataract surgery and I had put drops in his eye for him and took a few close ups of the eye which he could now see perfectly with… he found getting the drops very difficult and it made me laugh because I’ve been putting drops in my eyes for over a year and didn’t jump every time like he did…

tonight I am wishing he was here to look after me…  I have had an eye infection for about 10 days now and have been giving myself drops for a number of those days… today I went to the doctor again, because the infection appears to be coming back…

he is sending me to see a specialist from the hospital where George had his eye surgery…

on top of that I am struggling with a cold and feeling under the weather… if George were here, he would have brought me something warm to drink, made sure I had something to eat and tucked me in…

so, I am going to bed with a hot drink and will see the specialist in the morning… we don’t have many days before we leave for Mexico so I better start feeling well very soon…

angel tree...

angel tree…

this picture is one we took the day before George died…  we drove around the Park and neighbourhood so that I could get some pictures of the beautiful snow, and came across this tree which reminded both of us of an angel…
