I was a patient patient
today and Cousin Margaret was a patient patient supporter. For today
was the day of my follow up
appointment after my eye infection crisis.
Rather than be late for
my date with the doctor we ended up being more than an hour early so
we had morning coffee and scones in the Europa Hotel. It was sweet to
be sitting in the Piano Bar watching and looking out at Robinson's
and the Crown Bar. Belfast looked beautiful today.
The day had not started
well. There had been a very tight frost during the night and on my
way out the door this morning to feed the hens I slipped on ice and
fell on the broad of my back. I was looking at the bright blue sky
before I had time to tense up and that was a good thing. I must have
been shaken up still when I went into the henhouse for the damn
rooster saw my defences were down and attacked me. The weight of him
as he flies into you! I'm sure he'll make a delicious and hearty
broth some of these days.
But it could have been
worse. Poor Cousin Raymond was helping his daughter move house and he
slipped on ice while he was carrying a washing machine. The washing
machine fell on top of him. Apparently he is OK, still helping with
the flit.
The doctor at the Royal
Victoria Hospital told me that the infection in my left eye lingers
on and I'll need to take another four week course of steroid drops.
It seems it was a herpes infection and that I was lucky it was caught
it at an early stage. Better news is that I am now on the waiting
list for the cataract operation on my right eye and, in the meantime,
I can continue to drive.

Glad to hear you are not hurt from the fall, and that the eye is better.
Chicken for dinner!
I'll give that rooster another chance but he better watch out in 2015. Happy New Year!
