Karen had her best day at therapy. In both PT and OT, the therapists said she is making progress in spite of her painful legs. She is determined to be back on the golf course sometime later this year. This is a great motivator!
In the months just prior to her lengthy hospital stay, Karen had cataracts removed from both of her eyes. The results were great as both eyes could see at a 20/30 rating. Since coming home from the hospital, her vision has declined. Her opthamologist checked her sight today and got a rating of 20/50 on both eyes. She also sees some double images and glare bothers her. The doctor is having a special test run in two weeks to try to determine what has changed. He found no reason today for such a precipitous drop as well as her other other difficulties. He ventured a guess that the great blood loss in her hospital ordeal may possibly be the reason. He also stated that her eyes may have been negatively affected while she was onj the ventilator. Also the combinations of multiple meds during her three weeks in intensive care may also have affected her sight. She just can't catch a break!
That's about all for now.
Love, Bill
