More Pictures And Updates....

I tell you, I am EXHAUSTED!  I took a three hour nap today, and I am struggling to keep my eyes open to write this!

Yesterday, I spent the day at the hospital with my daughter Jodee and baby Jacob.  Jacob's Daddy had to go to work, so he relieved me at 5pm.  I drove straight to Yucaipa to meet with my girlfriend to see her new apartment, then afterward, we went out to dinner.

I have slow growing cataracts, so night driving is a challenge.  My new glasses have really helped to where I felt brave enough to make plans at night... but, some time between my last trip to Nevada in June and last month, my right eye was getting red in the outer corner of my eye.  Eye drops made it worse, so I made an appointment with the eye doctor.  Apparently, I have something "like" arthritis of the eye.  The doctor gave me some steroidal drops, which did help.  Lately, it has been flaring up again.  Now, I am concerned I may have been over doing it.  At any rate, when I return home, I plan on talking to my eye doctor to pin her down for some further explanation.

Also, I woke up Tuesday morning and my wedding ringer finger was painful and swollen.  I could not remove my wedding ring.  Most of the day I was miserable and by the evening, I was soaking my hand in ice water.  Normally, Windex works best for removing jewelry, but my daughter did not have any. She uses "green" products.  We went searching in the garage to see if her husband had anything, and found some heavy duty foam window cleaner.  My daughter sprayed it on my finger as I twisted my ring.  It hurt like hell, but I finally muscled it off.  My finger feels like someone stomped on it... it really is still sore, but the swelling has gone down.

Driving home Monday night after Jodee's delivery and then last night, tell me driving at night is NOT a good idea!  My eyes were all blurry and I experienced pain in my eyes from the bright lights.  I am hoping it was due to me being so tired, and not the condition of my eyes...

As promised, here are more pics of Jacob and of my daughter Jodee...

Jodee called around 8:00 pm.  She was just released from the hospital!  She was suppose to be released right after lunch!  I plan on going over to their home to help out, but she told me she will call me and let me know when she is ready...

I also need to visit my Dad and help Mom with cleaning out Dad's desk stuff.  I have been staying with my older daughter Holly in Beaumont, so tomorrow I will head out to Covina, to stay with Mom.  Unless Jodee needs me to stay longer, I plan on returning home on Monday.

Tomorrow I will visit Dad in the morning, and if Jodee does not need me during the day, will help Mom at her house, then my sister, her husband, Mom and I will go to  dinner.
