fweezin'...

brrr. do not want to go out for some groceries today. we've got company tonight, someone who works with lois...jen from boston :) she's the assistant to the pr guy. a really cute gal who simply adores lois - we like her heh.

i've been trying to decide what kind of seasoning to use for the pork tenderloin. adobo chile rubbed...caribbean jerk...emeril's baby bam...honey mustard...or apple cider. at least i do know that we'll be serving it with a mixed greens salad with cherries and granny smith apples; that nixes the apple cider i guess. some couscous and glazed carrots. we already have a bottle of gewurztraminer in the fridge but may concede to some sangiovese depending on what i decide for the meat flavor. the gewurztraminer would go well with a spicy or salty pork tenderloin and the sangiovese would pair well with a rich/hearty flavor.

we'll see.

jen said she'd bring over dessert...i wonder what though. heck, i'd be happy w/ oreos.

been checking out more things from the library. lois got a 28 cd audio version of a book. that should keep her eyes rested some. did i mention how her surgery went? well, it was the fourth surgery on her right eye that sustained a detached retina last january. this time, it was to remove the oil that was placed in there last march and to fix the (transplanted) lens that she coughed loose in a bout of pneumonia not long after the third surgery.

we went to the retinal specialist last thursday and he said it all looked good. the vitreous fluid in the eye was busily regenerating and everything was intact. even better is the glare that lois endured for a year is finally gone. unfortunately, she's got to get over a little double vision and slight headaches. hopefully, all that will subside in the next month.

yay!

btw, i went back to the corneal specialist last wednesday and he put me on some other drops (Lotemax). it's a weaker version of the prednisolone (Pred Forte)that i was on for roughly six months. apparently, if you take the Pred Forte drops for too long, it increases your eye pressure too high and cataracts develop. oh joy!

so i've gotta be on these lotemax drops every day for the next month and every other after that for another 30 days. he said that my dilation may never go down (groan)...but i'm hopeful. what else can i be?

hope you're all someplace warm.
