I actually didn't know what these flowers were, that's how bad my eyes are today. Either pollen or something, but they are at the worst I've had. Dry, itchy (mustn't itch) and my eyelids and everywhere is puffy. They've got to be roses, yes?
It's a strange looking old building, right down from the hospital, so must have been built for Doctors offices, I guess.
And the news from the spirometer? That test indicated I had a lower percentage of volumn for my lungs to inhale than I had 6 months ago. And the doc said I had a low rumble in my lungs. So I'm going back in 3 months. I agreed that exercise, just walking would be a good idea.
Today's quote:
Finding out what connects us, revelling in our differences; this is the process that brings us closer, that gives us a world of shared values, of meaningful community. |

...I have many problems, but thankfully this is not one of them.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that a great thing, when counting one's blessings...the things that aren't wrong with us! My toes are doing very well thank you!
DeleteHaving those problems with your eyes must be extremely irritating. I hope you get some relief soon.
ReplyDeleteAnother couple of weeks...I never knew how much I depended on my prescription glasses. I guess an astigmatism has become worse with age, since I never used anything till the drug store magnifyers for reading in my 50s.
DeleteWalking does sound like a good idea. I hope things improve for your eyes and lungs in every way.
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned to Tom's comment, I have lots of body parts which are working just fine. Grateful for that!
DeleteHope the breathung improves! Though I'm sure that getting out to walk in pollen season isn't that easy.
ReplyDeleteWith all the rain yesterday, perhaps there's less pollen. I'm off to walk around community gardens today!
