Jean in Newcastle Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Update on the eye: it is the right eye. The retina is not deta check ed, but there is bleeding. Vision is about 20/100. Something is cut, i didn't catch what. He said most of the time vision corrects itself, except for the times it doesn't. She'll need a follow-up next week. Blankety blank blank blank. (Tex can fill in the blanks for you). I hope it heals just fine. What does this mean for her intensive? Will she be able to stay? Will she come home? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will she be able to stay? Will she come home? I'm thinking she'll miss 2 days at the most. It is a 10 hour round trip (my house, to intensive, to city of follow-up, to intensive, back home).

The goal tonight is to complete the prezi I started last night (shouldn't take more than 1-1.5 hours), and then do another assignment where I design a learning center. That should be easy as I've had a classroom and know exactly how I want the science center to be. It's just a matter of writing it out and then throwing in citations and professional references to make it look good. It's the throwing in stuff that takes time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renai Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The eye doc that saw dd (unofficially) texted me info to the specialist and his office, and through in another referral to a bone doc (she has trouble with her knee too). He thinks she will be fine and says that the vision loss is "likely more due to muscular spasm in the eye than the retinal bleeding and swelling." We still are going to have the follow up though. He'll be emailing me and the specialist pics (from the official appointment with the doc in town where she is) of her eye on Monday and we'll go from there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh this is frightening. awww look at you adulting. so cute. :lol: Actually given what you posted as your upbringing you were likely adulting far too young and needed the time to not have to adult for a while. At the same time I know I was adulting from a young age (9), I used to hear it from adults all the time too, that I was never a kid, I was always more responsible and mature than any kids they knew. I was forever taking care of others etc. But these days I feel like a fraud, like I never really grew up and I have been faking it all this time. Like I am the same level of responsible and mature as I was at 9. And I am hard pressed to believe at 9 I was mature and responsible enough to be 38, so what's that say about me. I peaked at 9! and just never grew up further? Luckily at 11 I found my career path, because I have been in it ever since. I get paid to play for goodness sakes. Coloring, playdough, hide n' seek. Yesterday I was running through a sprinkler (in my clothing not a bathing suit) with a gaggle of kids (not my own) shrieking from the cold water hitting me.

Yeah I am pretty sure I was not adulting very well. lol Sounds like you are adulting just fine. I, too, had to adult when I was growing up, and I, too, went through my delayed childhood phase. One good thing about those is it tends to keep you young in heart for decades, if not forever, mostly because you have already seen the serious side and can better appreciate the silly. I can also tell you you will eventually reach the stage where you realize you are perfectly fine and responsible enough, and you will start to revel in being the family matriarch of authority. This position doesn't get bestowed upon you, you just stop accepting any guff from anyone and take it. "We are NOT going to even start THAT nonsense!"
