We picked up the trike last night so we have it for the weekend and everything hopefully is now fixed. We’re going to take it out for a bit when Bill gets home from work since it’s sunny. Bill went to the eye doctor yesterday and the doctor wasn’t too pleased with the pressure, he has glaucoma and has been putting drops in his eyes for years to keep the pressure under control so now we have to go next week so a colleague can examine him and see if he will need surgery.

He’s been afraid of losing his sight for years and now this news has us concerned. I think the worse part for him would be to never ride his bike again. The pressure has never been this high before and they showed him a film about what could happen to his eyeballs if the pressure isn’t kept under control. We are just hoping the surgery will correct the problem and he wont have to do the drops any more. I know his sister-in-law had some surgery done and her eyes seem to be okay now, but that might have been for something else.

We’ll find out more next Wednesday, but of course in the mean time he will be a nervous wreck. He worries more than anyone I have ever met, no wonder he has high blood pressure with all the stress he puts himself through. He tends to think of himself as unlucky and always expects the worst I on the other hand do try to be positive and force him to see things in a different light even though I am unipolar. I do try not to be down all the time and expect the worse scenario. At any rate I hope everyone has a great weekend if it doesn’t rain we’ll definitely be out on the trike.
