Fri, Aug 13, 2010: Two days of seeing with the new eyes!

Yesterday.......we were off to Cape G with the 1st Lady driving....still not allowed to do that just yet....and in the Dr.'s office by 8:15 for my post-op examination......and everything looked just fine, so Dr. Kinder said. Continue to take all of the eye drops, three times each day, until they are empty. I'm still using one of the bottles for the right eye which is not yet empty.

We then went to Panera Bread for a late pastry and coffee.....and then, to the mall as the 1st Lady needed to have her glasses adjusted....they have bothering the hell out of her.....and so, hopefully....this adjustment will make it better for her. We also visited a couple of other stores in the mall....Macy's...and Penny's.....purchasing some clothes that were on sale....heavily discounted!!

She decided to go "down town" where there is a shoe store that sells the same brand of shoes as the type that a rver friend of ours...Jane Brandon.....uses. The 1st Lady saw them on her when we were in Hannibal last month.....loved the shoes...and finally found this place only 50 miles from the sticknbrick. Soooooo......she bought a pair!!!! Found ones that she really liked and sooo, got out of there for a good buy of only about $75 for these sandals!!! And that IS a bargain for Keene shoes!

A quick stop at Schnucks Supermarket.....and several bottles of wine wound up coming home with us. Some great buys in there from their really very good wine dept!!! I was running out of wine....sooo, glad we stopped there.

A quick stop at "My Daddy's Cheesecake" cafe.....and had a great little lunch. Not sure it was any better than where we ate on Wed......McAlister's(sp?) Deli. Believe that was better than the "cheesecake" cafe.

Back home.....by mid-afternoon......and a bit of rest for myself. Still lacking any energy....guess that "happy juice" is still running through some of my internal pipes.....just can't seem to get rid of that sluggish feeling.

Today.......Stayed at home all morning....hot and humid....nothing new there! This afternoon we dashed up to Farmington so I could get my hairs trimmed up. Requested a towel to put over my eyes.....sure didn't want any little hairs drifting into my eyes at this point in time!!!

A quick trip to Walmart to pick up some reading glasses........tired of using my regular glasses and not being able to see clearly to read and work on the laptop. Then we ate a a local Chinese restaurant....one we had not patronized for quite some time. Actually....and, I am not a fan of this type of cuisine.....it was quite good!! Surprise...surprise!!!

Back home tonight....get to drive tomorrow! And, we do have to go up to the 1st Lady's mother's home....with a quick jaunt over to Quincy, IL for a surprise birthday party for long-time friends!!! No more to be said right now.......

And sooo...as always.....

LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!
