February 2021

Hello Friends!  

Dd didn't turn in any progress sheets for the last three weeks of January and none for February, so I will just do a monthly post instead of a week-by-week post.

Detached Retina for Dh:

Three weeks after getting Covid, Dh was diagnosed with a detached retina.  This time it was his right eye, and last time in 2018 it was his left eye.  I'm sure the inflammation that came with Covid contributed to his eye problem.  We really thought he would be back to keeping his head down for another three months but because he recognized the symptoms faster this time and went right into Dr. Ginzin he was able to get laser treatments faster and two surgeries.  This whole crisis was such a blessing, God really took care of Dh and he was so fortunate.  If he had been born a few years earlier I could be married to a blind man by now.  He fought his pressure being too high in his eye throughout his recovery and we had to do a lot of drops throughout the day for weeks.

While Dh was going through his eye emergency Dd started staying at Hailee's house.  This is the month she really pulled even farther away from us and sleeping here.

Health:

I had a veinous insufficiency test on my left leg.  I had another 15 migraines, compared to the 5 I had in February 2020.  Covid keeps giving and giving.  I decided to try acupuncture to combat this problem.  Not only does my acupuncturist do the needles, but he does also cupping and organ massaging.  I thought the organ massaging, a Japanese treatment, would be weird, but it was actually relaxing.
