This is all wearing thin

By the way, I still haven't received the call that I'm waiting for, to tell me when my transplant will be. I so very much hope that my wait isn't a long one, because I can NOT take much more of this!
Here's what I cannot take much more of: one blasted dialysis infection after another, and along with every infection, my blood pressure goes down and makes the nurses think they have to stop my fluid removal, which means I end up with perpetual chipmunk cheeks puffing up over my beautiful blue eyes...AND I HAVE HAD IT!!!!!!
Two of my nurses this week already told me that I look cute that way. I will tell you the same thing that I told them: "I don't WANT to look "cute"!!! I want to look PRETTY again!!!!!!!"
And there ya have it.
As soon as I am feeling photogenic, I'll get a couple of pictures, of my new glasses. Quite possibly, my new glasses are the best thing to happen to my looks. Again, I have two pairs. They look a lot like the previous two pairs; however this is the first time that I've been able to get transition lenses in both pairs, and also progressive lenses for the first time in my life. Last two pairs, I could only afford to have one of them be transition lenses, but when I first wore that pair, I absolutely fell in love with it, so this time, I got both pairs that way. And this prescription was the first in my life that didn't allow me to choose; automatically, these had to be progressive lenses. When I read, I'm supposed to have to lift my chin a little, but so far, my reading vision is best right out the center. I hope that's a good thing!!!!
So much going on...
Next week, Tuesday I think...nope; Wednesday, the 18th...Tony and Jerry have to go in for their dental cleaning. I hope they're as easy to shuffle off to the v-e-t as their sister was!
More later...
For now, I've gotta rest this damn headache (not a new headache; the same one I've had for the last three days.)
