WOW now it is July

OMG well I have been slack haven't I...... Where did June go? I was sick with the flu at the beginning of the month.
We have been waiting since April for Mum to get into the eye specialist, unfortunately it was on her birthday and afterwards we had planned to take her out for lunch and dinner that night. But the specialist was so concerned with my mum's eye that he sent us straight away to the hospital and she was admitted for a few days on drops and medication to reduce the pressure around her eye..... The doctors could not believe the size of the cataract that she had, it was so huge and the pressure was so high at nearly 80%. They could not believe she had been putting up with this pain for so long..... I felt so bad because she is blind already and I never thought that would of been the problem....
So on Thursday the operated and removed the cataract and lens, not to give her sight but to bring the pressure down.... She is home and feeling so much more comfortable, just means I am down her house every couple of hours giving eye drops. We are back at the specialist on Friday and will find out how everything is going and hope she does not have to have another operation.
Jamie went to his nanna's the first week of the school holidays and now we have the week together. We took him to see Transformers last night and it was an awesome movie he really loved it...
Ok on the weight loss front there has been none :( but will weigh in on Friday and hopefully we will have a result, at least I have put nothing back on though.... I had to buy some new clothes and even got to buy SIZE 10 Jeans..... oh I was so excited and only size 14 jumpers, so I have gone down 3 dress sizes...which is awesome and I am so happy still...

Brenda, my mum had cataracts as well. Glad to hear she is recovering well. And my hubby wants to see the Transformers movie - not sure if I could sit through it though.

Brenda - glad your mum is on the mend. You have done so well with your weight loss! I am so proud of you. I went on holidays last week and put on the 2 kilos I lost before I went - at least I am still back even!
