 |
Me with my Eli! He took all of my knives home to sharpen for me.
I got up took my antibiotic soap shower, and got ready. My first Happy Birthday wish was from Eli in a text. It made me so happy. Kimmy called me and wished me Happy Birthday next. She told me they wanted to come over later and she would bring a cake. I didn't plan anything because of my surgery but was super happy they were coming. I had to hang up on Kimmy because the eye surgeon’s office was calling. They were ahead of schedule, and wanted to know if we wanted to come 15 minutes early. I said sure since we’re almost ready. Hailey texted me a really sweet birthday text next and then Peyton. Vikki called me and wished me me Happy Birthday, and Melissa texted me to tell me Happy birthday and she was praying for my surgery to go well. Jacob texted me Happy Birthday and Abi sent a sweet Happy Birthday wish too. Great morning.
We got to the surgery center and I had to answer a few questions, then sign a few papers, then they took us back to pre op right away. Everyone was so nice! They took my vitals, then started putting lots of numbing drops and other drops in my eyes really quick. Then they put an IV in my arm and then the Anthesiologist came and talked to me. She would be monitoring me during surgery. We waited for about 20 minutes, then they took me back to surgery. Bill stayed in pre op and waited. The girls in the operating room were very nice too and wished me a happy birthday. The one liked my ruffle socks I was wearing. washed my eye out with soap and put more drops in for numbing and also drops to keep me from blinking. Then the doctor came and and put a big patch on the right side of my face. It had an eye hole so he could work through that. He got it just the way it needed to be and then told me to look at the light with both eyes and started. It only took about 5 minutes. I could hear the laser breaking up the old lens, then could hear the vacuum cleaning it out. Then I could feel a little pressure and saw the edge of the new lens going in. When he finished the doctor said, that went excellent. The girls said it was perfect. I was happy to hear those comments. The one girl told me she was straightening my ruffled socks because she thought they were so cute and they had got bunched down.
I went back where Bill was waiting and they bought me a breakfast bar and some apple juice. It was nice to eat something. We waited another 15 minutes, then Bill went to warm up the Jeep and park it by the door with the Star. Then about 10 minutes later a girl walked me out to him and helped get the door so I could get in. I was holding my plant from them. |
We went to Levi’s and Bill had breakfast and I had a Reuben sandwich. I only ate half. It was really good. We left and went to Starbucks and I got my free large Chocolate Cookie Crumble Frappe drink for my birthday. It was so good. I’m thankful Hailey told me to download the app so I could get one. Thanks Hailey.
We came home and I rested and slept for a little while. When I woke I walked in the bathroom and I could see such detail in the granite counter top and also in the shower tile. It was so much brighter in the bathroom too. I walked all over the house amazed at how clear and detailed and bright everything was. I sure thanked God for answering all the prayers.
Adam came and we visited with him for a while, then Kimmy, Jared and Eli and of course Arnie dog came. Kimmy made an angel food cake and a white cake for my birthday and brought strawberries mashed up and cool whip for on the cake. Melissa and Evan got here about 45 minutes later. Kimmy, Jared and the boys ate pizza that they bought. Bill and I ate left over chicken nuggets and fries, and Evan had breadsticks. Melissa ate leftovers at home. Then I got to open my wonderful presents from everyone, while Vikki watched because she was coughing a lot so couldn’t come. I got such beautiful and meaningful cards. They all got me a Keurig coffee maker with an attached pod brewer from everyone. It's so nice. They also got me a frother. Then on top of the the girls and families got me a Panini Maker that is like theirs and is so nice. Bill also got me a 3 way charger for my phone, watch an AirPods, and an electric jar opener that is amazing. He tried it on opening some salsa. He didn’t hang on to the jar, just held the opener. All of a sudden it popped and opened. We girls jumped because we thought it was going to go flying, but it didn’t. We will be hanging on to the jar from now on. They sure spoiled me. Vikki stopped over and I was happy to get to see her on my birthday. We girls went outside to see her. Then Melissa and Kimmy (and Jared even got in on) changing the coffee pot to go on the opposite side of the cupboard and setting it up. Bill and I even got in on it a little. They moved things around until we all like it. It looks very nice now and is so handy. Then Kimmy and Melissa (and Jared some) switched the stuff in the cupboards so the coffee stuff is over the coffee pot. That was a big job, but they stayed till they got it done. Thank you all. Then everyone cleaned things up and left. It was pretty late. I started working on my blog and fell asleep. Bill was sure to get a picture of me and sent it to Melissa. I was pretty tuckered after surgery and a lot going on. It sure was a fun birthday though.
