Mare In Moonlight ~ SOLD
I've been very distracted from painting this past week. Last Friday afternoon, without any warning, my dear husband, Jerry, unexpectedly lost the sight of his right eye. He was just finishing up a job at the Borgata Casino Health Club in Atlantic City when his right eye went totally black / blind. He drove home, then I took him to the Hospital. His blood pressure was sky high and they thought he may have had a mini stroke. He never had high blood pressure before. After extensive testing, they still didn't know what was going on, so they took him to Will's Eye Hospital in Philadelphia for more tests. Basically, what they said was, Jerry had a stroke of the eye. We were at Wills Eye Hospital Retina Center all day on Monday for more tests. The doctors at Wills were very discouraging and said the loss of sight would most likely be permanent. I refuse to believe it though. On Friday, when it happened, the eye was totally black and each day, Jerry is starting to see more. Today he said he 'sorta sees' colors, so I believe that the doctor was wrong and he can recover his sight. Now our main cercern is getting his blood pressure under control so it doesn't blow out the other eye.

Sandy, that is horrible!!! How frightening for Jerry! It really sounds most encouraging that he is seeing some color.
ReplyDeleteYes, when something like this happens, it makes one realize how much we take for granted everyday.
DeleteSo sorry that your husband has suffered this, must have been scary for him. I'm sure the high blood pressure will be controlled, it's a sneaky little blighter...I have hb too, thanks to pills it has lowered. Hope his sight comes back more each day. Love your painting. Funny how some paintings decide for themselves what they will be.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words, Ann. I really appreciate your comments.
DeleteYou sounds so brave! I love the paintings. Laliv.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laliv. Nice to meet you here.
DeleteOh Dear Sandy...I'm so sorry to hear about your husband's eye! My GodStar! That had to have been super scary for him. I can only imagine. I will send up prayers immediately for him!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right...we are connected by something much greater...
Your Mare is just perfect. How could it not be so? When one lives in the moment, each moment is perfection. It reminds me of early morning light. :) While Grandmother Moon still guides our way with her beautiful light.
Gentle Hugs to You and Hubby and
Prayers are going up on the smoke!
A'HO!
Wado Akasa Dear Heart. You are so right about living in the moment and about the magic of the predawn light. I am so very grateful for your comments and prayers. Wishing you many blessings my sister! Hugs, xo, Sandy & Jerry
DeleteJust stopping in Sandy to check up on how your Hubby is doing?
ReplyDeletePlease keep us posted? I awoke with you on my mind and so I thought I'd just check in...the same with Robin's Hubby. At any rate I'm holding all of you close...
Hecito! (It is so! Amen!)

Thank you for your concern and well wishes, Akasa. Jerry is hanging in there. We're slowly getting the blood pressure down. The eye hasn't improved much, but he seems to be coping well and getting used to it. He doen't really have a choic, I guess. We haven't given up on it getting better, however unfortunately, our expectations are not that high. Hugs, xo, Sandy & Jerry
