I Remember EXACTLY How this Feels!!!

This is not a new random tune, but I heard it today and we talked about this not too long ago:

My Mom had recently watched videos about Linda Ronstadt. She wanted to listen to the mariachi concert she gave.

I declined. I told her that listening to women sing is painful for me! It’s painful because I still remember crystal clearly how that feels to sing!!! I have been missing it so much right now!!!

I think that I am really feeling vulnerable right now! We had a great day today and I did not even cry for my mammogram which that is the first! I will sing praises for Lauren and Tammy my techs! I think I exclaimed in the room five or six times, “I didn’t even cry?!!!!”

We are going to handle my shoe situation on December 9 when I get my teeth cleaned. This disease progression is brutal! I was not ready for it, but I guess I was?! This stinks!!!

31 Years?!!!! OR My Eyes are Sick

Today is day #2 of Recovery and I’m thinking it’s going to be a full weekend recovery but I have another appointment on Tuesday so…

Let me talk about these new contacts! They are the easiest thing to put into my eyes! I have been struggling to put them in for the past 31 years?!!!! Each time I go to put them in my eye, they just suction to my eyeball! It’s so surprising!

I thought I was just going to see Liz to get fitted for them, but she wanted me to see Dr. Harris. He looked at my eyes through the machine in the room and had me look up and blink and he poked the bottom of my eye just to see how they were moving in them.

is going to see him on Wednesday and my mom told him and she said, “his”His name is Sean.”

He looked at me and asked a question that I never thought I would ever be asked and to be able to answer in an affirmative way! He said, “I bet he has your eyes.”

I let out a surprised gasp, but I think, I could feel my eyes light up, and I told him, “He does!”

Dr. Harris said that I could discontinue using my Renu re-wetting drops. These contacts fill excellent in my eyes, but I’m not going to discontinue using my re-wetting drops because my eyes are sick. They have been sick for the past 24 years. They got sick when I was pregnant with Sean!

Rando Tune #77

This song was released on May 29, 2001. My freshman year of college had just completed.

I had just found out that I was pregnant and I had just put in to transfer to EMU from WMU. I was accepted but plans changed when I found out that I was pregnant.

The whole story of my enrollment and U if M – Dearborn is absolutely insane, but I’m too tired to write about it now. Here is this song:

#DiseaseProgression

This is the first time on the eve of ‘go time’ that I have totally changed my appointments for tomorrow.

Instead of getting haircuts, I am going to the optometrist to change my out my contacts because my eyes get really itchy and they dry my eyes out. #DiseaseProgression

I hope these new contacts fit well and are not so expensive! Either way, I have to pay for it! Then we’re going to see about shoes…
