NEVER DULL.....
Well, as you all know Bob and I have had a rough couple of weeks, but true to our nature we pulled together and somehow are making the best of our crappy situation. We are at a point now that we can laugh at the crazy things our Bonnie used to do and find comfort in our stories. We both have our favorites. This doesn't mean we don't still have our moments of down right sadness but we are remembering more happy memories and trying very hard to hold on to those.
As if that was enough for us to deal with, Bob goes to work last Wednesday and his eye is red and irritated. I immediately stay far away from him and tell him that I think it's pink eye and he needs to go to the doctor. Of course he goes to work and his supervisor sees his eye and tells him to go to Occupational Health Services (OHS) and have it checked out. The doctor (I use that title loosely) tells him that he has conjunctivitis and continue with wetting drops and he can go back to work. So off he goes. By Saturday he can not see out of his eye it is so swollen. I insist that he stay home from work and goes to our family doctor. Of course our normal doctor is not in but the other doctor is. We go he walks in the room and stays far from Bob and says "Yes, it's pink eye" Gives him antibiotic drops and says cold compress for the next three to five days. Now it's Tuesday (yesterday) and whole week has gone by, the poor guy has been putting his drops in, cold compress, etc. Still not better matter of fact worse. So, back to work he goes and this time goes to the ER, the doctor there says he doesn't have pink eye he has a blocked tear duct and might require surgery. Yes, SURGERY! So, he is home sick for the next week he has MORE drops, this time some kind of antibiotic cream and HOT COMPRESSES!!!! The cold compresses that everyone has been telling him to do is WRONG!
He is going to see an specialist today and we are hoping he doesn't say surgery!!!
I really don't know how we both manage to get ourselves out of bed everyday. We both just want to pull the covers over our head and call it a day.

Hope Bob's eye doesn't require any surgery, yikes!! Good thing he went into emerg.
I changed your address in my template, you know I still want to read you!!
Relieved your having some happy moments thinking of Bonnie, hope things continue to get a little easier, but you take your time, after all she was an important part of your life.
Talk to you soon, hope this luck of your changes for the better.
I hope things get better for you both. You have a trip to make soon.
I am happy to hear that the fog is lifting a little.
Hugs,
Jonni
