Spring is almost here - Update!
Greetings,
My process for postings has changed - my pool boy (Ed) is now entering everything because of my difficulty I am experiencing with my eye site. It's kind of fun having my husband doing dictation for me!
Anyway, things are moving along okay. We met with Dr. Uhm this week and they will be adjusting my medication some. My main challenge is that the steroids I am now on prevent me from getting normal sleep. I sleep 60-90 minutes at the most many times a day. While this seems okay Dr Uhm shared that the lack of healthy sleep leaves one washed out and drained - guess he's right because that sums up how I feel a lot of the time. Thankfully I have plenty of time to sleep so I feel fine. Once the new meds take affect I am hoping for a more normal sleep pattern.
Things are getting exciting as Drew/Keeley's wedding quickly approaches. Recently we have enjoyed the fun of two wedding showers. The first was organized by the wonderful people from our church - Church of the Savior. How nice it was to have them do this for our family - they are truly special people! Next was our family - I would like to thank my sisters (Nancy, Barb and Jesse) for the planning and organizing as well as all the wonderful people that attended. Not only is it fun to see the nice gifts but its an enjoyable time to see everyone. Thanks again for all your effort. We have one more in Tomah (with all the cheeseheads - Ed's comment here) which I am looking forward to on March 28th. That date also is our wedding anniversary, 29 years. Wow, what a lucky man he has been (Ed's comments here again)!
On March 30th I will have a test done on my vision. Dr. Uhm showed us how the two halves of each eye work together to create your vision and right now they are not. It is a lot like a microscope being out of focus. I can read some with things held to the right side of my face where only half the eye can see it. Once the item is put in front of me where both halves of the eye are used it goes blurry. The test will help them identify what type of glasses can be used to improve this vision - if any. We are learning the brain, and your eyes, are very complexed.
We went with Jill and Ben Boldt to the Orpheum theater last weekend and saw the play Momma Mia. It was fun and the Boldt's were great to spend the day with - thank you Jill and Ben for that experience! What's next, how about a little outdoor baseball! Ed and I have Twins tickets for the April 3rd exhibition game at new Target Field. This may be emotional for me to walk into the park as my goal, when diagnosed 3 1/2 years ago, was to be there when the Twins opened the new park. Let's hope its not raining and 35 degrees! Go Twins!
In closing, thanks to all of you for your support. I love you all...God Bless

Hey Sue! You have been on my mind so much lately! It is good to hear that you are enjoying the wedding showers and getting excited for the big day on May 8th! I will look forward to seeing you there!
Sorry to hear you are still struggling with the sleep and eyesight issues. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Finally, happy, happy anniversary tomorrow! You are both lucky to have found each other.
Love from a bunch of us who love you in New Mexico!
