WISHING I WAS TIPPING THE TEAPOT

I was unable to eat or drink after midnight so I was trying not to think of my warm, soothing, comforting cup of tea. Preparing for minor sinus surgery(third time is a charm) I was calm, but oh so thirsty. Guess everything went fine according to DH and Dr. I committed on the way home that I felt like I had something in my eye. I slept the whole afternoon but when I awoke my eye was burning, stinging and just plain hurt. DH called the Dr. and he sent me immediately to the ER. He had made arrangements for everything so I was immediately wisked away to a patient room. Fastest service I have ever had in an ER. After putting some numbing drops in my eye(I would have paid thousands for those drops at this time) and about five people looking asking questions, I was told that I had an abrasion on my retina. They could have called it anything as I was just enjoying the relief from the numbing drops. It all took about an hour and one-half from the time we left home until our return. I looked pretty foolish with sun glasses and a visor in the dead of night. I really wasn't thinking about fashion. I prepared to sleep in the recliner per Dr.'s orders. I was glad it was over because what started out as routine changed into "could I lose my sight in my right eye". I am thankful for a Dr. who prays with you before surgery and Blesses you when he is satisfied things are okay and we are dismissed. Of course, my DH never left my side. He dutifully cared my coat, I Phone, ID and anything else he was asked. I am extremely blessed to have his presence with me. As my DNL use to tell people about my youngest son, "He's a good man". Hallelujah for all of that and ice cream sandwiches. (DH thought that would be a good way to end the day)
