Thursday - November 5

 Cloudy most of today - I walked and after breakfast, we were off to the retina specialist about scarring in Mark's eye.   I couldn't go in and originally they had said 3-4 hr. appt., then 2-3 and yesterday, he got a text that it would be 1-2 hrs?    So, I dropped him off and ran some errands.     He texted 1 hour later that he was done!

Interesting story about his eye and the condition is called Pohs......apparently years ago in the Mississippi/Ohio River Valley, an infection came from soil infected by chickens or playing in a sandbox.   This affected the eyes and caused scarring.    Dr. Mears did her retina specialty at the U of Iowa and saw several of these cases.    The patients are not aware of this and he is all cleared for cataract surgery in January.

I picked him up and we ran more errands.   He was pretty heavily dilated.   Came home, had lunch and a quiet afternoon reading and napping!   Had a nice shower around 5 and cooled down a bit.

So Eta (hurricane/tropical depression) is on our minds here in south FL as we wait and see just which path she will take.    Some friends here in the park are leaving Saturday with their 5th wheel and heading to Georgia till this passes.    It could hit the east coast or veer away.....time will tell and we are on top of this as much as can be.

Liam and Connor have been in full-time classroom since school started in August.   Now the latest is that they will go remote for 2 weeks in January when they would normally return after Christmas break.    They will return January 19th after MLK's birthday.    This will allow them time to quarantine if they've been traveling, with other people, etc. and have the classrooms all sanitized.
