I had to laugh because I am writing and then typing with a wounded, but healing, right hand. It hurts. What dedicated poets we are OR what stupid poets we are. I will pray and visualize the perfect healing I know is taking place each moment. Try to find something to laugh about since like me you are temporarily 'body comedy' and leave the rest to Him.

I will be praying Kim. I had surgery to help rectify my left eye in July, I too had an infection, I was afraid I was going blind, but am doing so much better now. Still leaning in over my tablet with my glasses on and screen setting at 125 %, but I can see!! Yay :) Praising God :) What is wrong with your leg? I am still somewhat out of the loop, I am off of here far too often, but prayers for your eyes, leg, and every part of your sweet self will be lifted in prayer. <3

Oh no! I will definitely keep you in my prayers Kim. Does your eye hurt? Poor thing. Take it easy on reading.

What is wrong with your eye,Kim? I hope it's not serious. For years I was wearing only 1 contact lense to see far and the other eye nothing . It could see close up. Last year I got the kind of cataract surgeries in which one eye stays near sighted and the other eye far sighted. I love it. I am guessing you have an eye infection? Those epidurals are painful but you will love the relief. You should soupmail me the details. My epidural led to me getting hip surgery in Sept and I love the results. I hope something good will come of everything you are going through right now. Please don't worry about commenting back to people. We all have times when it's just not feasible. Best of luck to you

Infection. Bleh! Feeling a bit better, but probably needs 2-3 more day.

Dearest Kim, you enjoy being here reading poetry and sharing your words with others, even though you're having issues with your eye. I completely understand, my dear friend. Poetry is a part of you. I hope your eye infection goes away soon. Praying everything goes well with your procedure on Monday. Hugs and blessings, Brandy
