Tina’s Treasured Thoughts

It seems as if I hardly cook anymore. My husband, Jack, says our stove is just a decoration. LOL I used to love to cook and I was good at it. I have so many things going on that there just isn’t enough time to plan menus and get to the grocery. We eat out often. In fact, we meet our friends and get to visit with them because they eat out too! I guess everyone is busy these days.

There is nothing worse than being out with friends and having a tooth break. I was eating Mexican food with our friends and all of a sudden, I felt something hard in my mouth. I thought that maybe it was a hard piece of rice but it felt bigger than that. I found out that part of my tooth had broken.

It was very uncomfortable to try to eat without getting food into that tooth. I wish I would have had some Dentemp OS. It is a great temporary fix when you get into trouble. It would have given me a 60 minute solution to get me through dinner at least! I need to carry this temporary dental repair with me to avoid the situation next time. We live and learn!

Well, I had my second laser eye surgery yesterday and oh my goodness, how great it is to see again.   I had cataract’s removed from both eyes about a year and a half ago and the covering over the implants clouded over and I was almost blind and couldn’t see, so had that taken care of last week and this week.  We don’t appreciate our eye site untill it goes bad on us.  I couldn’t believe all the brightness of the colors again.  

I forgot I have been working on putting an afghan together for The Share A Square for Children who have cancer and will be in camp next summer.

This is the link for that also.  http://thiseclecticlife.com/2007/10/01/october-sas-update/

Mailing the one I put together for her today.

Had to put black around all the squares and whip them together and then rim it with a couple of rows of crochet.

It has been such a blessing and rewarding to do this.

I haven’t forgotten I have a blog, but it probably seems that way.  I see I haven’t posted since september 20.   Too long!!

I have been so busy.  I am having Gastric By-Pass Surgery on the 30th of this month and there have been so many things I had to have done before the surgery.

Clearance by my heart doctor, a cath, much lab work, gallbadder untra sound, x-rays, visit to 2 different doctors, a physicologist meeting for 1 hr. to evaluate why I want this surgery.

Guess I am all clear and will start on this new jorney next week.   Oh, in the middle there, I had cataret surgery over 1 1/2 years ago and the covering for the implant clouded over in the past 6 months and so had to go have lazer surgery on my left eye last week and tomorrow I go for the right eye.

Hope all of you are doing good.  Thanks for all the comments on my last post.

I know God is good and I know He is with me through all of this.

I’ll try and write again before the surgery.
