2 Hospital Trips, Blessings &Talon

The past 2 weeks saw my sister, Mary, and her husband, Roy, both in the hospital.
Roy had quad by-pass on the 25th is doing SO much better!  He'd never been in the hospital and never had surgery. 
Roy got out of the hospital on Wednesday the 31st....Mary was taken to the ER on Friday the 1st.  She stayed in until Sunday, when they did a heart cath.  NO BLOCKAGES!
How blessed our family has been this year!  God is so good!

During both trips, I got to spend lots of time with their little grandson Talon.  (He's Theron & Heather's.)  That boy is a little stinker...just like I like!
I took him to McDonald's, a couple of times, and at one time he got into a little trouble with me.  I told him "You don't want me to tell your Dad." 
He told me "If you tell my Dad, Jesus will come down from the clouds and take him."

Good Eye, Jelly Fish & an Anomaly

Had the "good eye" surgery last Wednesday.  (Thanks to Melody and Martha who took me!)
It was quite an experience for me...having my eye completely covered.  You never realize how often people say "look at that"!
I've never been a druggie...but, I discovered what it must feel like.  I saw lots of BRIGHT colors, explosions, jelly fish...yes, jelly fish.  It was quite entertaining.
When Webber and I went back for the post-op on Thursday, the Dr. was really encouraging and said it all looked good. 
They took more pictures of my eyes and brought in another specialist.  Dr. Herman said that there's no way that I've come this far to not get more out of the "bad" eye.  So...on April 29th, I will see the next Dr. and see what he can figure out.  They don't quite know what to call what's happened to my eye...Melody said I'm an anomaly.
The Dr. and his nurse finally saw my tattoo...quite a hilarious reaction from them!
