Phoenix goes 12 rounds

Phoenix has finally had her eye surgery, and came through with flying colours.  Right now the colours are black and blue, and she looks as if she lasted 12 rounds with Rocky Balboa (I’m not sure who would have won that fight, as I could see Phoenix biting an ear when she’d had enough).  She seems to be handling the ordeal really well, and is on no pain meds, yet doesn’t appear to have any discomfort.  She goes back for a recheck in two weeks, and hopefully she’ll be on the road to healthier, more comfortable eyes.  The one disappointing thing about the surgery was that I don’t think our regular vet did it, I think another doctor must have performed it.  Our vet has promised for months to remove a growth on Phoenix’s back when she had her eye surgery, and also said he’d remove a tiny growth in her ear, but neither of those things were done.  I saw him write both items on her chart during her pre-surgical appointment, so I think one of the other surgeons must have performed the operation without reading the notes.  I guess I’ll ask about it in two weeks, because we didn’t get to see the vet when Phoenix was discharged.

I still haven’t heard anything from the immigration people about my temporary work authorization, even though my biometrics were done four weeks ago.  The wait is annoying, because all they need to do is stamp a piece of paper and mail it to me to give me permission to work until I have my Green Card hearing.  Given that my Green Card interview is in three weeks, the temporary authorization will be practically useless if/when it arrives, yet I had to pay $180 for it!  There are plenty of things I’d rather do with $180, and I’m sure there’s a “no refund” policy.

  1. The joys of bureaucratic red tape, eh?  It’s the same everywhere!  Hope you get some action soon, you are doing such great stuff down there!  They should be glad to have you working.

  2. So glad that Phoenix did well with the surgery.  Too bad the other two issues were not taken care of at the same time. 
    Hope you hear soon about your temp. authorization papers.
