Happy July 4

Many years ago, probably fifteen, watching The Boom in the Sky with Aaron.  "Protecting" his ears so he could enjoy the fireworks.

And so, happy July 4 to everyone.

I've been quiet - and busy seeing eye doctors.  The shunt in my eye opened as planned, but it's been working too well,  Instead of helping the fluid drain a little it's been overproducing and helping the fluid drain a lot.  I've had several injections of new fluid or gel that all too quickly drain away.

There will probably a surgery on Monday to tie off the shunt and give the eye more time to heal.

People are saying to me, "I could never get a shot in my eye."  You could, and it doesn't hurt.  I'm very grateful to my doctor and to all the others covering on weekends and holidays and surgery days.
