WOYWW #480 : News + a New Process

Greetings everybody!
it's been a very long time since I last found the time to enjoy a Workdesk Wednesday. For any readers who might be new to this fun weekly blog hop, please follow the link to Ms Julia Dunnit's blog HERE.

There's news about my health, but I thought I'd first share with you a little process that I've invented. Each photo tells its part of the story. I hope you'll find it useful. This is an older project. I've been waiting for the right time to share it.

One of my "Scotchi Tapes" from a previous project.

Actually, it was a set of 4 small jars, not 3.

OK now for the boring, serious bit. I found out about a month ago that they really couldn't restore my left eye's sight. I kind of already had a sneaking hunch that was going to be the case, but it was not a relief to hear it. Too much nerve damage, they tell me.

There is a lingering possibility that a similar problem could eventually occur to my right eye as well. That fear factor is depressing, so I will say no more about that now. Suffice it to say, I am now being choosier than ever as to how I will spend my remaining eye strength. There is nothing so critical as this for me.

On the up side, however, there are to be no other intravenous high dose steroid treatments, so that's a relief in and of itself. The doctor's focus is now on keeping my remaining sight safe, so I will be needing glasses. These will act as a form of safety glasses for the purpose of keeping unwanted things from reaching either of my eyes.

I've never needed glasses prior to this trouble, so you won't find me complaining. At age 60, I'd say that has been a blessing.

NOTE: Please forgive me if I am unable to read everything or to respond to every comment or post. Rest assured, I am eager to see what everyone's been up to in my absence, and so intend visiting every participants' post this time around. Time to get started!
