I am dizzy today but I will try to blog some for you

Franky and her 3 babies!!   Those babies are growing like weeds!!

After 3 and a half weeks my bad eye opened!!!  Of course Dad and I where at the Doctors many times in that 3 and a half  weeks.
When the bad eye finally opened it was not doing what  we had hoped it would do.  But the doctor kept saying it will take time!!!!!   In another week that bad eye did start to move. When I looked to the left!!  It didn't do anything! When I looked to the right it did move kind of  to the right!!!t   My Dad was full of hope!!!  I was happy for him!!!

I have so much more to tell you but I am dizzy today and not working well at all!!  So until I am better I have to say Sorry I can not keep going!!
Love you all Lots, Fern

Finally THE 6 WEEKS WAS OVER--- THE BANDAGES WERE CONNING OFF

FINALLY The 6 weeks was over -- the bandages where coming off!!
The doctor talked with my Dad and Mom for ever!!!!  I could hear most of what he said!!  He was trying to prepare them for failure!!  This was the first time this was ever done.   He did say if my eye did not work right he would do it again in 6 or 8 months.....  Do another surgery!!!!  
After what seemed like hours the bandages did come off.   That bad eye would not even open!!!!  It didn't do anything!!!!  The doctor said it would take time.  Lots of time.
My Mom cried!!  I know the doctor was disappointed too!!!
This is only the beginning of the story!!   We stayed in New York City for a long time after that!!  We had our trailer at a camp grounds out side of the city.  Dad went to work at a night club that one of the men he worked for owned.  After a few weeks my bad eye still would not open!!!!
More to come in a few days
Love coming your way, Fern

I saw this BEST eye Doctor in the US for eye surgery

I remember I really didn't care for him much!!  My dad and this doctor did a lot lot of talking about me??? That Doctor Poked me so very much???   I really didn't under stand just what was going to happened to me but I do remember that this doctor and my dad talked A LOT ABOUT NO SIGHT COULD BE EVER BROUGHT TO THAT BAD EYE!  The whole thing was SO SCARY FOR ME!!

When it came time for me to have surgery I was a trouper tho!! 
This surgery was going to ( or they all hoped ) that my bad eye would look like it was normal!!!  If I looked to the right with my good eye the bad eye would do that too even tho it would not be seething any thing-- it would look like it was.  That was going to be a tall order b/c it had never been done before!!  This was in 1941.  It was a gamble!!!  A gamble for my dad and me and for the doctor!!!
I was in the hospital for 6 weeks!!!  I loved it there!!  I got feed 3 meals a  day!!!  I had never been fed 3 times a day before!!! 
My mom and dad slept all day long most days, b/c my Dad played piano till 3 am in night clubs!!!

I had bandages on my eyes for 6 weeks!!!
But finally the day came to take them off!!

I hope you have a great week-end!!  We plane to!!

More to come next week ....

love coming your way, Fern

I was born with no real sight in my right eye!

That eye would just float around and it didn't look normal.
I Was 7 years old when I was put in the second grade and the kids were awful to me.  They called me a freak!!  I did look funny.
I had not been around children before. I didn't like them much!!  They didn't like me!!

My dad worked for a group of men that owned a bunch of night clubs.  Those men knew of a doctor that was the best eye surgeon in the US.  They thought maybe that doctor could help me.

My Dad WANTED TO GO TO NEW YORK to have this doctor see me.  We were living in Orlando at the time.  It would cost a lot lot of money to go to New York City to see this doctor!!!   My Mother didn't want us to go!!!
  I was in school!!
My mom and Dad talked about it a lot!!  My dad said to my mom Fern is going to be a good looking girl if we can get that eye to look normal.

They took me out of school and we headed for New York City...
This is just the begining of the story!!

The story is about why I can not see very good today........

Love coming your way!!  Fern

Baby Coons Wednsday

Wednesday night as we were going out to walk this is what we found on our back patio!!  Frankie's babies!! I do not know where Frankie was??????????  Frankie had called her babies 2 nights ago so she said it was OK for me to meet them!! Tom went back in and got the camera and took the photo!  After we walked he went straight to the computer to learn how to put a picture on. We both wanted to show   Sonja the babies!! Once Sonja had a baby coon and she kept him for almost a year.  If you have not been to Youtube lately there is a lot of people keeping baby coons now!!  There is some really cute videos on there!!

Love coming your way,  Fern and Frankie's Babies!!
