The New Visions Blog!⏳

OT update, goals for the week and life goes on!🎃🙏

Hi y'all 👋🤠, longtime and newer friends.
This is what I just wrote in my weekly goals update of Oct 17 and OT.

Here I be, hanging in there with life and it's complications!
So my goal was to make it through the week ( still here!) and research making a digital book.
I was going to include my sister helping me go through the over 16,000 photos plus I have between Facebook and Google photos. Thinking 🤔 I could post them to the TV so she could see them better.
As it turned out she didn't know how big they would show up or if she could see them at all...
She can't even see the pictures we printed up of our grandkids, that are in frames on the wall...

Before finding this out, I was researching the 2 ways to show on the Smart TV ( not smart enough apparently 😔) either Wi-Fi or with a HDMI cable. Wi-Fi needed chromecast attachment.

Then I realized it wasn't going to help. She said to just do the Season book anyway.
I was pretty bummed out that she couldn't be involved in this project.

I will continue to work on going through the possible pictures and upload them in one place.
She said " You should print them up anyway and put them in an album, like we talked about."
I answered" what for? You can't see them and when we pass on, there's no one to leave them to."

Our family has dissolved over the past year.
It's just reality but we will live on in our grandsons Matt and Dom. And what writings I leave here on WDC and other places, that will be added to my portfolio 😁.

I guess I'll add this to a blog post 🤠 📯.
It is my writing and our truth after all!
Have a blessed weekend 🌹 😊





🪻☯️🌜🪻🎃✍️🙏🎇😻😔💐🕯️🌺📸

So I haven't been a part much of the Halloween stuff and festivities going on. I'm hoping that will change!
I've been trying not to be angry or upset but it's been hard dealing with it alone. This week finally she will see the low vision specialist and find out what the bottom line is.
She has $190.00 for the exam. None is paid for by insurance. She worked hard all her life but is on Medicaid and Medicare and low vision glasses aren't covered.
They could help her see better to drive and read. They will be between $400.00 and $4000.00.
All I can do is make a GoFundMe and pray 🙏🌹 enough people will help to give her back some of her sight.

It's hard when we have to drive and I need to keep her in the right lane, depending on the light and weather.

We get medical rides, but can't afford to take Uber to get to the food or drug store for me.

I have to go see the gastroenterologist people and find out more about what my last endoscopy showed. If I will wake up nauseous and some mornings throwing up for the rest of my life. Or will it get better?

Most of the pain med I take has a lot of Tylenol in it. And that isn't good for my liver or stomach.
It doesn't always help my pain either, so I'm thinking of getting a medical Marijuana card. It's a long process and will cost money, that I'm not sure I can afford. We have been trying to save to move but having sis see is most important.

So this is the most I've written ( outside of my notebook 📓) in a long time. It's also a prayer 🙏 that I don't know if it will be answered.
We are doing everything humanly possible to help ourselves.
Hoping for some mercy 🍀 if possible 🤞. We've gotten a few lottery tickets and scratch-offs but haven't been too lucky lately. This used to be the lucky time of the year for us. Hoping things get better.
Bless y'all for prayers and good energy. Prayers for y'all ❤️ with whatever situation you're in or dealing with.

These are very challenging times with no end to the price of food and everything going up, but not income.
We get a raise in our check and the rent goes up. Thankfully we have a roof over our head. Maybe in time a little house with a space for a garden and an adopted dog 🐕🌹🪻🌜😻.
