Whew...

Today was a busy day and one full of emotions.

I started off the day with a trip to my ophthalmologist for another check-up on my eye situation. (Backstory: Around Christmas I was having problems with my right eye, ended up being another case of my weird "cold-sore of the eye" ailment.) It was not a fun or good visit. They looked at my eyes about 5 different ways, meaning lots of drops and weird lights and poking my eye to check the pressure. They tried a hard contact on the scarred eye to see if the pressure from the hard lens on the scar would reshape it at all to possibly improve my vision. No luck. I could only read SOME letters one row up on the letter chart from where I was without the lens. This means its not worth the cost and hassle of using the hard lens. What this means is that the only solution left for me is a cornea transplant. Eek! I am not ready for all that that type of surgery would entail - meaning cutting off part of my eye, replacing it with part of a donor's eye, wearing an eye patch temproarily, 3-4wks regular healing time, and up to a year for my vision to correct... IF it corrects at all (the procedure only has a 70% chance of working). The one upside to the stuation is that my doctor said that there is no rush on the surgery and that I can get it when and if I choose. The downside is that I am stuck with glasses and being mostly blind in my right eye. Depressing considering that I'm only 26. :(

In better news... I got to hang out and catch up with two of my Sarahs today. After the dissappointing doctors visit, I met Scroggy for lunch at Aladdin's. I admire her so much right now because she is preparing to donate her kidney to her brother! WOW. That is such a huge gift and I admire that she is that selfless. After lunch I headed down to Canton to visit Ms. Thomas. She, and Percy the dog, and I went to the park for a walk. We sat and chatted by the lake and got to see two herons and a momma duck with 4 babies! Made the day seem better and less stressed.

Now it's time for more wedding planning. I think I have figured out what I want to do for centerpieces, and tonight I am going to start searching for exactly what flowers I want to use for my girls' bouquets, my bouquet, and the boys' flowers. Tomorrow after working at the restaurant, I plan on going down to the parents to start trial runs of the invites and to start addressing envelopes. So much to do and so little time!

Speaking of... I think this is enough for today :)

PS - Goal for next week: investigate grad school options, preferably ones that do not require me to take the GRE!
