Hopeful

So, the doctor said I can go back to work on Monday the 11th.  I just need to get some money coming in so I can do my part to help.

My sight is still very blurred in my right eye. I am compensating and trying to be productive. I don't really feel the 'cabin fever' I usually get when I am grounded and can't leave the house. I suppose facing partial blindness during this recuperation has put things into perspective for me.

My depression is close by and I keep pushing it away. I have watched movies today and even tackled the pile of laundry.

I am so thankful for David. He has been my eyes and waited on me hand/foot over the weekend. My daughter Kourtney ran me to the grocery store on Tuesday and that was my first day out of the house without David guiding me around. It was nice to get out and spend a little time with her and my grandson too.

Realizing that you will only have half a paycheck was hard to swallow. I just don't know how we will pay our bills this month but I know God is in control.

My supervisor keeps encouraging me to come to the bank Christmas party on Saturday night. I am looking forward to it even though I will be going solo until David can get there from work.

December 1st is a pivotal day in my personal history. In fact, right before they took me back for my operation, I told David the story of December 1, 1991.

That day I got on a plane and left Panama with 2 small children to start my life over in Tennessee. I had no job, 2 children to raise and eventually a divorce to face. Things were very bleak that year to say the least.

December 1, 2017 is the date of my eye surgery and though it was a very frightening day for me, I got through it with prayer and with my hubby beside me the whole time.

Please tell those close to you how you feel about them. Check on them (even if it annoys them).
If you are in a dangerous situation, there is a way out! Trust me, I am on the other side and got through the worst of it. The hotline is 1-800-799-7233
