Retinal Tear

So the retinal specialist says K has a retinal tear in his left eye and needs surgery as soon as possible to fix it. We lucked into a cancellation this coming Tuesday, otherwise he would've had to wait 6 weeks for an appointment. It will be for half an hour in the doctor's office and he sounded very calm and matter of fact. He asked if K had ever had an eye injury, then suggested he may have been born with the condition.

The basement is looking really good, and they think they'll be finished on Monday. Can't wait to take some pictures once it's done and before we start cluttering it. We discovered they had delivered the wrong size shower door today and had to go running down to the store to exchange it. The company had mixed up the doors and it had been sitting around the house for weeks unnoticed. So, if you're ever renovating, please check your deliveries carefully as soon as possible and in detail!

L has a driving tip from her instructor. If you keep your thumbs wrapped around the wheel when you drive, you'll lose them if the air bag deploys. Best to drive with them flat against the steering wheel. Hmm.
