Starting the New Year off; many may say way off...early?

And so I was a pretty good girl/woman or old lady, whatever and I did listened to all that I was told to do for good health, than why?
Why, have I been getting more and more, unhealthier each year that I do what I have been told?
Remember my most recent eye floaters, coral snake-like?
Well, after two days I felt that I should speak to a professional and get some intelligent feedback, and guess what?
Of course, you all know the routine, “I would have to be checked and so I should come in.” And so I did.
They again dilated my eye, this time only the culprit of infamous dispute, righty, my always problem legally blond/blind eye.
But the young teen looking, Dougie Houser type eye doc felt that even then he could not see what he had to see due to that enormous cataract also in that eye which I suppose made the view, even from his side rather cloudy!
On my side it always is, in that righty/wrongful eye!
And so again I was recommended to return by his popular demand and to see his colleague, the surgeon one who had done lefty’s cataract surgery, for a procedure to see within my righty/tighty eye that appears to have some mighty powers on this gaggle of eye doc peeps, oh wait it’s my peep, peeper, that is, ha! HUH?
Any-who and below is what I am going in for next year /week…,

“B-scan ultrasound is most useful when direct visualization of intraocular structures is difficult or impossible. Situations that prevent normal examination include lid problems (eg, severe edema, partial or total tarsorrhaphy), keratoprosthesis, corneal opacities (eg, scars, severe edema), hyphema, hypopyon, miosis, pupillary membranes, dense cataracts, or vitreous opacities (eg, hemorrhage, inflammatory debris).
In such cases, diagnostic B-scan ultrasound can accurately image intraocular structures and give valuable information on the status of the lens, vitreous, retina, choroid, and sclera. However, in many instances, ultrasound is used for diagnostic purposes even though pathology is clinically visible. Such instances include differentiating iris or ciliary body lesions; ruling out ciliary body detachments; and differentiating intraocular tumors, serous versus hemorrhagic choroidal detachments, rhegmatogenous versus exudative retinal detachments, and disc drusen versus papilledema.”

After that we finally found a parking spot at Fishville where they are displaying the Nina and Pinta reproductions, nice ships, but no ADA, entree…sadly…
Then we picked up some prescriptions and dinner ala the grocery store!
The mail awaited us and to my surprise I received my approval to go for my MAMMOGRAM between now and 3-27-12, hello?
And appointment is up to me to make, and you all know that I will.

And so my New Year also had another pleasant surprise that we have been invited to the neighbors for New Year’s Eve and I have not replied yet.
With me being me, I have no idea if I would make good company for anyone, let alone Hubby, who is basically stuck with me… I think I will have to sleep on it, hmm?
No rash decisions; either way.

On that note of a bit of mystery, allow me to be the first to wish you all a very happy good night and to kindly ask you to count all your blessings and to share those overages and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear?
