Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker
Getting old is not fun. It’s good to be alive but I think the headlights on my (car) body have gone out. My headlights on this old body are my eyes.
Yes those nasty little growths that dim the eyes of a lot of us seniors have made their home in my eyes.
I was never too concerned about my eyes until my vision got blurry in my right eye. Oh my I panicked and got into an eye Dr. later that night. After testing my eyes, they discovered a cataract on my eye that apparently had been there for a while.
I had noticed my eyesight getting worse but attributed it to old age. I was referred to an eye surgeon in Lima who scheduled me to get the right eye done on Dec 17 and then the left one on Dec 19. I do all of my writing on my phone and I can see some out of the right eye.
Thank God for His mercy. My sweetie Denny has been taking me to appointments but I hollar at his driving saying, “Watch out for that car coming, I can’t see.” Luckily he replies, “Umm Well I can.”
The things I enjoy doing are limited right now but I can see the TV and see some on my phone.
So remember me in your prayers and hopefully i will be back with A Penny For Your Thoughts soon.
