Got a story for ya Ags! WHOOP!
Yesterday, went to see Hsquared otherwise known as the world renowned docs of Baylor Eye Clinic- Dr. Hamill and Dr. Holz in regards to my left eye (old surgeryito). Being that the left eye is now in severe achy breaky pain. Both of the docs saw nothing wrong with it. Which is good news for the lens, cornea, retina, iris, inner-mechanics. Then I told Dr. Hammy what part is killing and found out about a new part (new to me) the orbit. Yes, I know. Awesome because I love space.
Orbit- the eye socket, the eye muscles, the eyeball, the optic nerve and the fat in between. Yo Homeslice, my orbit hurts! I showed Dr. Hammy this part around my eye and he went "Ooooh I see" after pressing on the left "orbital" area and me writhing in pain, he put two and two together. Where in the medical center will I venture to now? Kirby Rd. To see the "brilliant" Dr. Soparkar i.e. the "orbit specialist". This will take place on Monday. Until then, I'm all ibuprofened up since I got this pain that makes me nauseated. I'm talking first trimester with no baby! Not cool! I have no idea where this new jaunt will lead me. I'm really thrown for a loop to be honest. I was thinking more endopthalmitis. None of that thank God, but now what? God has definitely got me on the road to somewhere... My hope is that for anyone that is going through this- you are not alone! I am legend! Just kidding. Come on, you knew that dog was going to die. Anytime a dog is introduced in a movie and is the sole companion and friend- prepare for it to die and you won't be so sad. Come on people! (Hope someone has seen I am Legend or better yet read it.)
I joke about all the opthamalogists I've seen. They keep getting smarter and smarter. I hear this one invented Flubber and he is actually just a brain in a jar that talks by telepathy. Cool. Will give y'all the run down and what we find out!
In the meantime it's off to Oklahoma this weekend for the celebration of my family heritage- The Privettes (mom's side) and their land rushing! Go 89'ers!
BLOG RELAUNCH HAPPENING SOON!

Eye Sitch
Dis ain't ovah (Charles Bronson imitation).
So I've been trucking it via Driving Miss Crazy style with my mom, John and sometimes Leelah (thank goodness for portable DVD's!) over to the eye docs (3 times in the past week and a half). It would appear that the left eye- surgery dude- is now "inflamed". Inflamed means PAINFUL! Socket hurts, blah blah blah. So I've gotten the big bad drops - one for the inflammation and one to dialate it for 2 weeks. My pupil, normally the size of a pinhead at all times, is now the "size of Dallas"- that's a medical term. With one drop it will stay like that which will help with the pain and has. But I cannot see out of it. The reason I got for it being inflamed: "I'm a difficult patient". Great. I'm high maintenance, but don't know it- the WORST kind according to Harry in When Harry Met Sally.
Saw Dr. Hammy yesterday who said the inflammation was looking better, but I have to go in on Monday to see both Dr. H's to make sure it isn't infected. Again. I know right? It's not that I'm complaining, it's almost funny now. I do need prayers for it to be not infected and for the pain to go away! Please!
Right eye is doing it's thang with the cataract. If I had to guess and I shouldn't, I'd say it will have surgery on it at the end of the summer. It will take that long to get the left one on track if they have to remove the lens.
In the meantime, I'm thankful I can still read even if it's starting to get more and more difficult. I know God has a point to all of this and it is way better than I can imagine.
Worse comes to worse John will take over the blogging, and y'all will be better for it. That guy is hilarious! By the way, he's the only person to actually get picked for Jury Duty and has been serving it this week. I think he thinks he's on Law and Order or Matlock. Preferably, Matlock. He won't tell me anything. He totally takes it seriously, which is awesome. I'm super proud of his good heart. Course I wouldn't snitch either!
Should anyone in the World Wide Web have Dislocated Lenses (Ectopia Lentis) please drop me a line. Or if anyone has had Endopthalmitis- holler at me! Where my vision impaired people at? Can I get a GOOGLY EYE? Oh well. So sad Scott got eliminated off of Idol.

Hippity Hoppity!
For Good Friday we visited Nana and Poppa in Huntsville and dyed eggs with Aunt Amy, Uncle Matt and Baby Cousin Ryan- who's now 9 months!!!!!! He is just a doll. We love him so! They both got Easter bunnies and it was great to see them "play" with each other. Much more of that to come!
Then on Saturday we went to the Easter service at our church in the evening with an egg hunt before the service.
Easter rocked! It always rocks! It's EASTER! He is Risen- He is Risen INDEED! Leelah loved every single plastic egg of it too. The child did 5 egg hunts. I'm almost embarrassed about it. 2 in one day! It was a whole mess of fun though. Easter's always been my favorite holiday and this year Leelah could actually get pumped about it. She's been talking some gospel lately too which has been really special:
"Jesus is in my heart." (then points to armpit) yeah you read that right...
"Jesus is so handsome. Just like Daddy!"
"Jesus died and his friends were sad. But then (repeats "but then" about 5 times) Jesus came back to life!"
"Jesus was bah-tized in the river." (while "reading" her little Bible)
"Easter is over." - This was announced loudly upon entering her classroom on Monday morning.
We are so thankful that we have this day to celebrate every day of the year. Praise the Lord! It gives me great hope knowing Jesus came back to life.

I must really love this child...
I have an aversion to sand. I don't like it. Particularly the gritty-ness. I don't like sandpaper either. I have to wear gloves and ear muff/shooting ear covers while I sand furniture. I LOVE the beach. I hate sand. Don't ask me why. Go ask your Dad!
So whilst perusing the garage sales of Katy, Leelah and I found a kiddy pool. Which being a resourceful mama albeit sort of ghetto (even though I don't ever use that term) I decided it had the possiblity of becoming a sandbox for Leelah. LEELAH LOVES SAND LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS! The child eats it. She loves to play in it at school and at her boy friends houses. So I took the plunge, paid $3 for the kiddy pool- which was used as a sandbox -full of shovels, sand castle making things, etc. We then went to Home Depot to purchase the $20 sand and tarp. Yeah, we cover it with a blue tarp and bricks. See above mention of "resourceful". Here's the pics of my sweet sand monster and her dad reveling in the glory.
Note: I have not gone near that sucker. Just daddy. She asks me to go- I sweat immediately. I'm considering putting a dirt devil near back door and a decontamination room (thanks Lesly!) I'm talkin' Andromeda Strain. That stuff gets everywhere. I'm getting nauseous thinking about it. I do love glitter, but I Don't like sand!!!
