Dear Ernie May 17/11

Dear Ernie

Well, it has been a while since I have sat and written to you, my friend. I appologize to you for that. I have been meaning to get to you, but ......  life got in the way.

I have had a rough five months with health issues and also with medications. I know this is something that you deal with on a daily basis with your own life. So you can understand what I am saying.
I have been battling Optic Nuritus. It is blindness in my one eye and then it started to go into my other eye. The specialist has put me on steriods and they are knocking heck out of me now. Thank goodness I only have to be on the pills for five days but it was the IV for four days that got to me.

I will never take my eyesight for granted again, Ernie. It is like looking out into an alien world right now. Nothing is clear or has color and it is very dizzying.

This started at the end of March for me and it has been a journey.

I also started to write a novel in January. I say A novel, but actually it will be about five books in all and I have started on three more with two in the wings. You know me, Ernie, I don't do just one thing at a time!! I have to multi-task everything.

So, not being able to see properly right now, sucks. I have the farm to run, raise up baby chicks, sell eggs, sell puppies and all the rest.

I guess you could pass the cheese with all this whine, eh?!!

Take care my friend
