It's been a few days...

but not much has happened. My eyes seem to have stabilized for the moment which is both good and bad. The good is that there is certainly no discomfort. But, my right eye still has a way to go before it gets back to where it should be. It remains somewhat cloudy. Meanwhile, I continue to pour in the eye drops as prescribed and await the expected improvement.

It's amazing how things seem to happen to fill up your time. Yesterday, I really had not planned on doing much except to frame a picture that my wife had completed. The first thing that I do in this situation is take pictures of her artwork before I frame it in order to eliminate any glare and get the actual colors, etc. Well, wouldn't you know it, the automatic flash would not open!

My first inclination when anything goes wrong is to immediately go to the web to seek a solution. It turns out that this is a common problem for my camera and that people have benn quoted approximately $200 in order to fix it. I was fond of neither the price or the possibility of doing without the camera for quite a while so I went on a search for possible solutions. Many were proposed on a variety of web sites and I think that I tried them all. To make a long story short, about three hours later, I had the problem fixed. But, of course, half the day went by.

However, I must say that having saved $200 was very satisfying.

Otherwise, the days have been uneventful - just the way that the doctors want them to be.

I can live with that...
