Today I did Lower Body workout from the Low Impact Total Body Trisets DVD. Had an excellent workout. My legs were fried. I really like this workout.

Wall Squats - 12's/16 reps
Lunges w/Cups - 16 reps
Side Leaning Lunges w/Cups - 16 reps
Repeat

Step Up w/Lunges - 12's/12 reps (4 risers)

So last week I took my mom to see my eye doctor. She had a thorough checkup and she found that the retina in her right eye was swollen and the macula was wrinkled. She wasn't sure why so she sent us to a specialist and we went there yesterday.

So the doctor did a bunch of scans on her eyes, put dye in her veins and did more scans. She has scar tissue on her retina which is causing the macula to wrinkle. He said he can do a simple 20 minutes operation to peel the scar tissue off her eye and that should restore about 50-60% of her eye site. :eek: He said she should not have any vision problems after the surgery other than aging issues.

He did say that she has the beginning signs of macula degeneration but she has the "dry" kind which means if you have this condition, the "dry" kind is the best to have. It is slow in making changes to her eyes and he doesn't see a reason to even worry that it will do anything to her eyesight in her lifetime.

What makes me mad about this whole thing is the eye doctor my mom used to see annually did tell me about 5 years ago that she had scar tissue on her eye. However, she didn't recommend we see a specialist or get more tests done or anything. She just told us that within 10 years my mom would be blind.

I'm glad I decided not to listen to her doctor and keep going with this issue. I knew in this day and age, they can fix eye problems. And sure enough, we have a light at the end of the tunnel finally.

Thank you for the prayers, everyone, and I will ask for more the day of her surgery. I am waiting for the scheduler to call me to make the appointment.

I did URX-MT Gay Gasper Total Body Metabolic Strength Conditioning. This only uses the sand weights during the last 12 minutes, 52 min, 444 calories. I then did Beast abs, 11 min, 71 calories. I finished of with Chalean Extreme Recharge, 20 min, 89 calories. Total time was 83 minutes and calories burned 604.

Debbie, be sure to let us know when the surgery is. I will keep praying. That goes with the saying that we should always get a second opinion. The only thing is not everyone can do that. I am so glad that you got another opinion. That is wonderful that she won't be blind.
