Did you thank a Veteran today? I did you should to. It is good to hear that our country is grateful to our nation’s military service members, active duty, guard, reserve and veterans, for their dedication, courage, accomplishments and sacrifices to protect our everyday freedoms.

I woke up with the tunnel vision still, I can't say that it is worse than yesterday but it is definitely not going away. I called my Dr.s Office but they were closed, Ohio State University, I didn't make the connection all state & federal offices closed... I left a message with the on call service & a Nurse Practitioner called me back. My only option today is to go to the Emergency Room & be seen that way, so I asked her to relay my issues & I am going to try to get into my Dr. first thing Wednesday morning. They don't have any eye doctors in the ER & they would have me follow up with my Doc the next day no matter what so, I though I would rather rest at home comfortably & stay out of the light, especially since any type of light seems to make it worse.

Marcus, a veteran also, got today off so I was happy to have time alone with him, at home. This rarely ever happens, with 4 kids we are typically always on the go.

I almost fell out of the shower yesterday so later in the afternoon when I was moving around a little better he took me out to K-Mart to look for a shower seat, they did not have any but he got me a new shower head for some reason, he's the plumber so I didn't question it. We went to the Medicine Shoppe here in town & were able to find a shower seat without having to go into Columbus.

We were not out long & I started not to feel so good, Marcus brought me home. I talked to Kim on the phone & I could not even remember the conversation. I was starting to get a headache & a little chest pain. I have been battling heartburn for the past 2 days so it is hard to tell if it is really chest pain or indigestion. My bones were aching so I threw the towel in. took an Oxycodone & laid down. Spike took a nap with me on the couch, neither one of us moved for 2 hours until Paige got home.

Marcus went out to the Clubhouse while I was resting to re-wire the speaker system out there, so they will be on 2 different systems. The TV Room is bigger then the pool room so when the game is on it deafens you in the pool room. Hopefully he can get that taken care of since the Big Game is in a couple of weeks.

Misty made BBQ meatballs for Katie so she went to town on those when she got home from school. Zack had a rough day at school yesterday so I would not let him watch Beetlegeuse because of it, today he was all excited when he got home because he had a good day at school so he is watching it now with Katie. Wrestling season has started so Brandon is fully engaged.

I feel a little better but my eyes are still driving me nuts, hopefully tomorrow we can figure out what the heck is going on with them.
