Wordless Wednesday

I'm watching you...

My cats have really enjoyed the bird feeders I got for Christmas. Many days this is the picture in my den.

Elvis, the orange tabby, does this every day. Bama, the grey tabby, doesn't care to do this as much as Elvis. I know that in their minds they're saying...."if only I was outside!" And the few times that we've had a bird hit our french doors, Elvis goes crazy!

This weekend may allow for more pictures like this with the expected highs to be in the upper 60's!! Look out Spring...I'm ready for you!

Enjoy your weekend!

And the results are in...

I got the results of my MRI back today. I know that I mentioned it would be a CT scan but it was changed due to my insurance. The dr. told me that I do indeed have a brain, which could have been questionable the past few days, and that he didn't see anything wrong or abnormal. I have noticed that the double vision is less when I wear my glasses and worse when I wear my contacts. I have them in today and the right one is driving me crazy right now. I so want to just rub my eye right now. I'd probably scare the little ones if  I did so I'll wait until I get home to do that.

I do need to order new contacts and see if that will make a difference when I wear them. The pair I have in now are on their last leg.

Dr. Visit

I hate going to the doctor! I do my best to avoid it if I can. The past few years I was obligated to go because we had to update our adoption records each year. Then there was our FET that caused me to have to visit the Dr. several times. I just don't enjoy it!

I had to see my general practitioner today. I went to the eye doctor last month and told him I was having some issues with some double vision. It only happened in certain instances and I really didn't think anything about it. My eye doctor diagnosed me with palsy of the 4th nerve in my right eye. I didn't think anything about it until I googled it. Those Internet searches can cause some unnecessary worry. But I found that some causes of this is high blood pressure and diabetes. Some times there is no cause for it. So my eye Dr. recommended that I see my GP to rule out those causes.

Well I went today and I had a feeling they'd want to do blood work so I didn't eat or drink anything this morning. He ordered a CT scan of my head and sent me for blood work.My blood pressure checked out great. They are checking for diabetes and my thyroid. I think the CT scan is my doctor's way of being cautious. He couldn't see anything with my eye and I'm hoping that the blood work all comes back good. It is a little scary because of my family history of diabetes. My paternal grandfather and my maternal grandmother both were diabetic. My dad is a diabetic too.

I'll be anxious to hear the results of that blood work.

This weather....

STINKS!! We were teased this weekend with the lower 70's and a beautiful cloudless day! I seemed to have forgotten how beautiful the sky can be because the sun's been hiding most of the winter. I do have to admit that I am jealous of the rest of the country that is being hit by this massive storm right now. It's dreary, wet, and warm here today with the occasional rumble of thunder. I'd much rather have snow right now. It looks to be a monstrous storm that will affect alot of people! I'll be praying that those of you affected by it will be safe and warm throughout the duration!
