Defenestrate

So my eye is completely healed. No damage. No nerve damage. Vision as good or if not better than before the stabbing. Yeah! Tomorrow I’m going to call my eye doctor and tell him that I am ready to go back to full duty. I’ll be working in the most gentle of rooms (if you could call any of our rooms gentle).

I’m excited and nervous. But the doctor cleared me to work out last week and that has helped tremendously.

Matthew and I started a “love after marriage” (LAM) class. It has been tough. The class is about being honest and transparent in marriage. The class has 50 couples but we are broken down into groups of only 4 couples. These couples will be our core. We have shared our marriage stories. I really like the other couples. Matthew and I shared our story. all of our story. The class has weekly homework that is designed to build infancy and communication.

My eye is doing great! I still need a 1/2 of my pill to sleep at night. (to relax) And my vision is right where it was before the attack. I didn’t know that the sliver of wood missed my optic nerve by an unmeaserable amount of space. (wow) I started modified work on Tuesday. It is exhausting just doing desk/clerical work 8 hours a day.

Wow. This is so cool. We found an app that lets us connect our desktop to the Internet via our cell phone. Sic. Sic. Sic. It rocks. That is so cool! (Didn’t know these things were that smart!)

Gosh. I was hoping to stretch out today. But I walked to a friend’s home to see some kittens. I was too tired to walk back, so a friend drove Matthew and I back. When I was home, I could barely stand up. The pain increased, I took a few low-level pain meds and passed out! The county brought up charges against the lady who did this to me today. I called the officer so I could press charges, but he is off until Thursday.

I got to see Candace tonight. She is such a beautiful woman. After talking with her, I think reality is setting in. I was unable to work this week. Sigh. And then some people in the hall started yelling and it freaked me out. I so need quite right now. At least my Dr. wrote a good prescription for pain. I can have my ‘happy juice’ every two hours. It is something like ‘dilotted’? It knocks me out. My eye is healing, yet it is still blood red. They had to change my IV cathera because it came out of my vein.
