Two minor eye surgeries in the near future.....
Hello my dear friends.Just thought I would give you the update on my Eye appointment with the specialist.First the assitant of the Lady Doctor, did a complete eye exam.Then she froze my eyes, and inserted a needle in both tearducks, with water in the syrenge, and inserted the water in one eye at the time.I felt the pressure of the water coming in, but it did take a few seconds before itactually went thru and felt the water go down in my throat.But she also looked in the inside of my upper lids and saw that I had alergies.So I was prescribed a nose antibiotic spray that I now need to utilise daily, in order to determine, if the alergies are causing my eyes to cry constaintly, orthe tearducks are blocked.So I have another in 3 months, to determine if the nose spray fixed the problemor if it is the tearducks that are glogged.Then, she noticed a small tumour in my left eye, which she will take off surgically,at our local hospital, but will send the specimen to the Ottawa lab to be studiedin order to determine if it is benigh or not.Lets pray that it will be benigh.On a brighter note, I took a nice relaxing walk with my little Maggie this afternoon.It felt great to have a nice cool breeze as I walked a good km.Might not seem much to you guys, but I am stuch with COPD emphysema, & didn't realized that I could walk this long without being too much out of breath.So from now on I will take a walk every day.Along with the stretching I've been doing and Yoga position I do daily now, I feel much much better.I feel a lot more flexable and Happy to be alive and well,considering my health issuesI do make the best of it all.Love & Respect to all,MckenzieOne day at the time.

Greetings Mck,
Glad that your mini-op has been done - it sounded as tho\' it would be very unpleasant, but you handled it well. I have the same problem (tho\' a strong onion will give me a couple of tears from 1 eye - I\'ve got so many allergies, that I think it is just one more! I\'m so glad to hear that you walked about 1km - I would find that v.hard: but it\'s a good sign - you might find your lungs improve for many many months after quitting the dreaded fags - I did. I hope your body keeps up the flexibility - so that you can do yoga. And soon, maybe you can ski. I hope your knees are OK. Fond regards, JaneD.
Thanks Matt for your well wishes, always a pleasure my lovely friend.
Jane, thanks to you too my love, my Rheumatologist told me that I could stand the knee problem for another 5 years, so my knee replacement won\'t be done until 2013, if I can stand it. But need to avoid the stairs, but walking a flat space is fine.
I am going again with my daughter in law Tina, after lunch.
Here we have the whole concession, so no traffic, unless it\'s a tractor, or a school bus.
We live in the real country, no neighbours, only fields and fields of Corn, Soya Beans, Hay, Straw, ect....
It all belong to my hubby\'s boss, they work thousands of acres, which is why my hubby is always working around our area.
Which is nice, never know what could happen, also the for the roberers that might be lurking around.
We were broken into last year, very scary episode.
Thank God I wasn\'t home at the time.
Have a wonderful day my dear friends.
I have you in my prayers that your eye will not be any more than and allery. You get over one hill and then have to start at the bottom of another.
I am so happy to hear you are getting out walking. See you did better than you thought. It is good for you to get out of the house and enjoy the sun and fresh air. I think that in itself has healing powers. The yoga is a good choice to. I am trying to get the motivation to start yoga. Keep it up Mack.
Weird, I\'ll bet it was weird feeling the water go in your eye then down your throat. I will pray that the tumor is benign and that all goes well.
