I went for my one week eye check up today and everything is looking great. I can stop using the drops now, except the wetting drops. Which means my eyelashes should stop feeling so sticky, and I can start wearing eye makeup again too. Not that I wear much when I'm just around the house, but I do like to add a little even if I'm just going to the grocery store. My eyelids just look so 'white' without it! My eyes feel great and aren't even that dry now. I do still feel like they are a little vulnerable and I wouldn't rub them like I used to before the surgery, but over time the Dr said I would not feel like that and would be able to rub or touch them if I needed to. I use the wetting drops about every hour.
Connor (Kristen's little buddy from next door) left this morning with his older brother to go visit their Dad in CA. They'll be gone for 2 weeks! And the day after they arrive home, we will head off to England. Which means Kristen and Connor probably won't see each other for a month! And poor Kristen - I don't know what she's going to do most days now that she doesn't have Connor to play with. Emily (the girl 2 doors away) is usually at her grandparents house during the day because her parents both work. So if she does come over to play, it's usually after 6pm! Oh well, I'm sure we'll still enjoy our days. I think I might take Kristen round to the pool tomorrow, now that my eyes have been give the ok. You aren't supposed to open your eyes under water for at least a month after surgery. I had to laugh at that, I don't even put my head under water, let alone open my eyes - so I'm ok there!
Here's Kristen with Nan's two doggies Sugar and Bella. She really had a nice time visiting Jason's grandma (her great- grandma) and her 'GranPoppy' (Jason's Dad).

Hi sweetie,
I'm so thrilled for you that your eyes are healing well and you're doing so great with that. You must feel like a new woman!
Wow, Jason's grandparents don't look old enough to be great-grandparents! Glad they had a great time.
Only 16 days until you leave for England...woohooo. I sure will miss you and my scrabble buddy of course but I hope you guys have an awesome time. Is Jason going with you and Kiki too?
I only just noticed your note about having problems with the scrabble. I went right over to try it and it worked just fine for me, so maybe it's fixed or maybe it's an issue with your end. I do know I can only view anything in Facebook using Firefox. If I don't use Firefox, the letters don't even show up on the scrabble board. Can I suggest giving that a try. Let me know if you're still having problems, but I just took my go with you and Sue and it was fine this end, although that's not to say it wasn't fine before. I just didn't get to try earlier.
Big huggles, Julie. xx
Hi Denise,
Wow, sixteen days! and counting. It seemed a long time out when you first said something about it.
I am so glad that you are feeling great with your eye surgery.
Have fun at the pool tomorrow. HUGS
Wow how exciting to be leaving for UK so soon. How long will you stay? I'll miss visiting you. Sorry about Kristen's friend, I'm sure she'll miss him. Glad your eyes are going well, hugs
Hi Denise! I'm glad your eyes are doing well. In no time at all you won't even be able to tell you had surgery I'm sure. I'll be you can't wait to go to England. How long will you be there? I hope you have a great time. Have a nice Thursday sweetie. Big hugs!
Hi Denise, the time will fly and soon you will be with your family. What part of England? Will you see Sadie? That is a really nice picture of Kristen with her great grandparents.Hugs
I really appreciated the time you took in the last post, to explain all the ins and outs of having this eye surgery, and who is a candidate and who is not. And it's great to see how quickly your eyes are recovering!
I know you are so excited about the trip to England, and I am excited for you both, and looking forward to lots of pictures of the adventure!
You girls take care and stay well!
XOXOX
