Pat's appointment went really well yesterday!!! I'm so glad b/c I don't think we can handle any more bad news!!! He has lost a lot of periphery at the top from the laser that they did, it builds up a lot of scar tissue. He was actually able to see the big E, though it was fuzzy!!! Really exciting!! We haven't made it this far with the gas slowly going away!! I find myself holding my breath when the doctor starts to look in his eye until he says everything looks good!!! I think he noticed yesterday :). I can't wait for Pat to be able to drive again!! I feel terrible that he just mopes around the house all day when I am sleeping. I have been working as much overtime as possible lately!! 60hours every other week! and 48 in between! Basically they have talked about going to working 36 and getting paid for 40, I would lose a ton of overtime opportunities with that because weekdays get pretty full!! No matter what...May 28th, when that pool opens I am done with the overtime!!! :)
Many have asked lately about Pat and his career search now that he's feeling better. Not much out there is all that I can say. I email jobs I find to apply for and he has done searching on his own. Basically you apply for everything that you can find and wait for the phone to ring!! Not a whole lot of ringing going on!!
Really its not even discouraging right now!! I am so much more concerned with his health than his career!! The money that he makes from unemployment goes straight to his cobra and I have been paying the rest. Really I have to count my blessings everyday that I work in the field that I do and that we haven't been strapped for cash at all through this ordeal!! We haven't even touched the emergency fund!!
So for all of those worriers out there, we are doing great!! I love getting to see him everyday!! This schedule has really brought us so much more closer together!! We can't wait to get married!! :)
