First let me report that my appointment with the retina specialist went well. My retina is hanging in there with the usual amount of floaters. My budding cataracts did not bud much this year. I said to him, "Well, that's good news that they didn't change." And he responded, "They will. They always do." Yay for future cataract surgery, I guess. My pressure is perfect, so no signs of glaucoma. He agreed with me that my eyelids, especially the right one, droops too much. It's most likely a condition called Ptosis. He has referred me to a lady doctor in Winter Park who specializes in eyelids. Never knew anyone did that! I am going to call today to set up an initial consultation, but I do want that surgery. Dr. Membreno said that it's a three week recovery waiting for swelling to go down, but that most people get excellent results. I am really bothered by it, especially on the right eye where I can see the eyelid all the time. Unfortunately, my ridiculous schedule is making it hard to even find three consecutive weeks where I could just recover and then have a follow up appointment. Maybe in November....
We had an excellent rehearsal at the synagogue last night, so that was nice.
This morning I will have 11-12 ladies here playing Mahj. I set up three tables for it because I thought we were going to be 12-13. One cancelled, unfortunately that was Debbie, the lady who taught me. She's going to Universal Studios today, I think. Now one other lady forgot she had a hair appointment this morning. She may or may not come after the hair appointment.
Anyway because of play rehearsals and cruising, I can't host Mah Jongg here again until mid-April, so I'm happy that nearly a dozen ladies are going to be here playing this morning. I love it. Next week Mark and I start three-mornings-a-week rehearsals for Arsenic and Old Lace.
My weight is down that extra pound from the sodium on Tuesday. I had a great day yesterday, eating all my meals at home and doing some small amount of walking around in stores. The only indulgence was after the rehearsal. We have been driving our friends Jonathan and Susan to rehearsal with us, and it has become our tradition to stop at Twistee Treat on the way home. I had a caramel milkshake. So yummy. Even so, I was about 276, so I am not upset. Today I will eat all my meals at home; tomorrow, too, probably. Our next meal out should be dinner Saturday night at a friend's house. She's having a dinner party for 8, and I'm bringing the salad.
