Wichita Trip

This is the day I make my trip to Wichita. I will pick up Juanita at 8:45 and we will be on our way. It's only a couple of hours...perhaps two and a half hours.

She will see this specialist who specializes in macular degeneration. He treated her for several years and finally got it arrested. Her optometrist thinks her problem is that her glaucoma is getting worse but he wants her to see this doctor to be sure.

If she is up to it, we will eat lunch at Olive Garden up there. She is over 90 years old.

I woke up at 3:30 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep. So at 4:00 I just got up and dressed and made up my face. It will catch up with me tonight I imagine. I stayed up until 10:00 last night to watch the PBS program about Johnny Carson. It was interesting.

I got my cakes baked last evening and took them over to Bob's and stayed and visited awhile. He will take them to Independence this week.

More later...

Our trip was successful. The doctor felt her primary problem was her glaucoma. Unfortunately, there is no cure for glaucoma. But the macular degeneration was minimal.

We got there at 10:30 and stopped for half a sandwich and a cup of coffee. It's a good thing because it was 3:30 before we got out of the doctor's office. Then we went to Olive Garden and had soup and salad. We got to Independence at 6:00 and I got home at 6:30.
