The night before….

I thought I would leave a short note tonight before the big day tomorrow. Finally, I will be receiving my first transplant surgery on the right eye. Some know others that have had partial cornea transplant surgery etc. but there’s was a partial or one layer etc.

In my case, My entire 5 layers of my cornea will be removed. I will have nothing protecting the rest of my eye.If anything would go wrong, I could lose my vision forever and even worst my entire eye. Both of my eye specialists in different states said the same thing to me when we know I had no other choice but to have the surgery or be blind. It’s ironic that both would say the same thing but when they said, “This is a BIG Deal!” they weren’t kidding. I’ve had my moments, shed tears, been angry and have educated myself as much as I can. But I am very ready and at peace for tomorrow morning. I will always, in my heart grieve for the family that lost the person that will enable me to see, but will always make sure they are not forgotten or thought of in all I do.

The drug that will make me immune suppressed will extend for the next two years. That is the one thing I worry about the most. It’s not going to be an easy ride, but anything I have to do to save my vision is worth it. Who knows, I may be lucky and have an easier ride than I am anticipating. Only time will tell.

So I am closing this tonight and will promise to get back on as soon as I can. In the meantime, when I feel up to it, I’m looking for some RV easy meals to cook for down the road. Crockpot, grilling, smoking, etc. I have to eat 3 servings of meat every day (which I’m loving as I have always been a meat eater) but wanting to think some variety. Our email is Wheretheroadleads@proton.me so feel free while I’m healing to send them my way! I appreciate it! Until next time, take care and will be writing to you soon:)
