Let the Good Times Roll...

Last night I did one of my favorite things here in Wichita! I went to my monthly "Bunko Night"!! We started the group in February and I think everyone would agree it's just a really fun night to get together with friends we don't get to see often enough. For those with kiddos and husbands, it's a nice way for them to get away too!

For those non-bunko'ers, it's basically a dice game that requires zero skill or talent, except to be able to roll dice, talk and eat snacks at the same time (harder than it sounds). You either want to win the most games, get the most "bunkos," which is when you roll 3 of a kind when you're "on" that number, or you want to lose the most games and be declared the "booby." For all of these three lucky ladies out of the 12, they go home with fabulous prizes and more importantly bragging rights until the next month!! I won in May and sadly that is all! However, I did get some great tea lights and a candle holder, which I really enjoy (thanks Molly!). Last night we were at Jenny's house where she served delicious snacks (including some awesome brownies and pinwheels) and here are a few pics from the fun:

****Eyeball Update****

As my journey continues to get my eye fixed, I went to an opthamologist in town today that specializes in corneas. She was SUPER! I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone in Wichita that ever needs a cornea specialist!! She assured me that we wouldn't have to amputate, so that made me rest easy! Long story short, I had an ulcer on my cornea last week and that caused my other opthamologist to refer to this doc....she said I have virtually no tears or moisture in my left eye. So....what does this mean you ask? More wearing my glassess, lots of eyedrops, which happen to be expensive. :( But whatever it takes to get this fixed up! I will keep you all posted as you await on the edge of you chairs!!

How is she ALWAYS right?!?!

So, I went to the eye doctor Monday for an annual check-up (although, I guess I can't consider it annual since it had been about 1 1/2 years) and he told me that I have a viral infection in my cornea. This would explain the worsening vision and slight drooping in my left eye. I left there with instructions to not wear my contacts, use prescription eye drops 3 times a day, as well as lubricating eye drops every hour. I call my mom and fill her in on what the outcome of the appointment was and she immediately said that I need to go to an opthamologist for an eye infection.

I go to the opthamologist today and what do you know? She was right! He said that I don't have a viral infection, but some other issue (essentially super dry eyes from over wearing my contacts).....he gave me new eye drops, instructed me to not take the other ones and I am due back for a check-up next week. I am glad to know what the "true" problem is, but frustrated that my mom (who I love!) is somehow most always right...since the appointment earlier, I have been trying to remember a time when she was wrong....maybe someday I will have kiddos that I can be right with all the time! For now, guess I will settle for taking some advice, however unwanted at the time!!

Will keep you posted on my eye, but since I am forced to wear my glasses until it clears up...I remember why I dislike wearing them all the time:

1.) You can't wear sunglasses (unless you have prescription glasses) and I hate driving into the sun without them.
2.) I feel like I am going to fall down the stairs because it is so blurry when I glance down out of my glasses.
3.) Rainy days- they get all splotchy!!
4.) I don't like working out in glasses.
5.) I just feel frumpy!!!

That's all for now....hopefully my next post will be a bit more upbeat!! :)
