Well, all last week and this week I've been waiting for a letter to come in the mail from my eye. dr. It still hasn't arrived! I called the office today, and just received a call back. They apologized for not getting back with me, but the good news is that I'm not legally blind yet!! I have 22% of my central vision left....legally blind status would have to be 20% or less....so, I'm within 2%. I have mixed feelings about this. For a moment, I'm thinking we jumped the gun, and I can still drive! Then thinking a bit further.. this particular test was with the brightest of lights, and I took it really well they said, not clicking when there wasn't any lights, thank goodness for that! Being within 2% is still pretty close, and its still probably the right decision to do what we are doing...with that said, we'll keep monitoring it, and when we get to the point of wanting to discuss disability opportunities, then we'll talk more with him about it and get retested to see where we stand.
I've had several people ask me how my first week went with no driving? All in all it was a great week! Parker and Brecken enjoyed seeing Nana in the mornings, and grandma joined us one day! We spent Saturday with Papa while Chris tore apart our master bathroom. It was a fun day, and for the 1st week and a half, everything has gone great! I can't complain, and pray that this arrangement continues to go smoothly and that everyone is happy and content with it.
On another note, other sounds I've noticed with my new hearing aids: The golf shop, where I work apparently has been playing background music for quite some time and Target is very noisy!
That's all for now, I hope everyone is having a great week.
