The thunder rumbled & rain came down! Then, this afternoon the sun broke through & the humidity went sky high! But oh the smell! The air was rich with the fragrance of all the honeysuckle & locust tree blooms!

Butch & I spent yesterday in Omaha. Tests, tests & more tests. My visit to a second Retinal Specialist confirmed the diagnosis of the first. I'll be visiting him monthly. I'm told the likelihood of any improvement is slim at best. Changes in the eye will continue.
I am
atypical for this to have occurred. My test results were all fine. No health issues, a healthy lifestyle etc. The
Why may never be determined. Dr. Angle said to consider it a blessing, because if it hadn't entered the eye - my brain would have been next. When I consider the helmets I've broken, the falls I've taken & close calls I've survived. It is difficult for me to comprehend being struck so suddenly & without warning.
Again, many thanks to the friends who have called, texted, emailed, messaged. All the ways of communication we now enjoy. Your prayers have strengthened me. With time, my brain will adjust to the changes & I may hardly notice any difference. I've been thinking about
faith in the last few months, as two good friends struggled with serious health issues.
Faith is easy to have when things are fine, the test comes when they're not. Now - It's me being put to the test.

I'm taking one of my favorite pieces of advice. It was shared by my long time amigo & mentor after my serious accident in 2003; "Forward Motion saves your beehind!" (The sanitized version.) The trick is to just keep moving forward. I plan to be back in Farah's saddle as soon as the heat & humidity subside!
