Jenna's surgery

Well, yesterday was an adventure, eh?  I should say that Connie was the driver to and from St. Luke's in the OP.  All of us had fun saying what a crazy situation it was.  Also, Jenna's grandparents took us all out to Applebee's, where Lois said we should have told our waitress we were celebrating eye surgery. 

Anyway, here are some details about retinal detachments and Jenna's surgery.  The docs say that her retina detached due to her nearsightedness, not due to eye strain at work or anything like that.  Also, at some point in everyone's lives the gel inside our eyes turns to liquid.  Her eyes have already gone through "the change" but her retina did not take well to this transition due to the nearsightedness and shape of her eye.  Today, she will be having a surgery called The Buckle, where they will put a silicone kind of headband around her eye that will stay there for life.  Once the buckle is on, the doctor will also use a lazer to kind of glue the retina back to the back wall of the eyeball.  There are other ways to do retinal reattachments, but Jenna's doctor said that The Buckle is the best option for her.  Her eye will be quite swollen, but she is glad she will not have to be awake for this surgery and that it will take just about 1.5 hours.

Here is a picture of a retinal detachment.  Jenna's actually looks just about like this, as the bottom part of her retina is the part that is detached.

Also, her eye will actually be more nearsighted after surgery for a few months and she will have to wait those few months until she can get a new glasses prescription.  She should be OK to go back to work as a proofreader, though, so that was good news.

So Jenna and I are here at downtown St. Luke's and she has just gone to fill out all the paperwork before her surgery at 10:30 am. 

Thanks for the comments and prayers!

first sub job

Hello all.  I had my first job as a substitute teacher today.  I actually was a sub for a paraprofessional, so it was interesting to see what that's like.  I learned a lot just by going into different classrooms, as well as the resource room to work with students with special needs. 

And just to conclude (because Xanga posts are better with pictures), here are a series of random photos.

Regarding Mr. and Mrs. Nesbitt

Many of you will recall that Jenna, Connie, and I have had a "pet cat" named Miss Nesbitt since we moved into our apartment a year and a few months ago. Some of you may also know that Miss Nesbitt got married and now we have a Mr. Nesbitt. (The cat slippers reunited to form a pair again).

Well, sometime in August before student teaching began, Connie was at the apartment when our landlord came over to take a look at our dishwasher. We do have a cat bowl in the kitchen to keep with the joke about having a real pet cat. He happened to see that cat bowl and immediately demanded of Connie, "Do you have a cat?" (You aren't allowed to have pets in the apartments).

Connie was then in the embarrassing situation of having to explain a joke that she doesn't think is as funny as Jenna and I do. She even showed him the fake cats and she says that she doesn't think he really believed her, but let it pass.

Hahahaaaaa! Oh, those Nesbitts.

I didn't mean to be gone so long

This summer I got a Facebook.  Xanga still holds a dear place in my heart, though, and I need to stop neglecting it.  For those of you who don't know, I am student teaching at a middle school this fall.  It has been crazy and fun all at once.  I have started a blog of student teaching stories.  I am updating it once a day.  Here is the link - misswrightsteaching.blogspot.com

Hope everyone is doing well!
