GRATEFUL INDEED

Near the entrance to the convention center is some old fashioned color.

·       Having a cataract removed isn’t as easy as everyone says.  At the surgery pavilion, everyone treated me wonderfully well.  Except, there’s always an except, one nurse who couldn’t put the IV in.  Ah well, another nurse did it in two seconds.  You don’t even have to undress.  I do have a line reflecting into the other eye that’s very distracting.

·       I had not read the instructions completely, stupid me, and had been putting all the drops in my eye from the start.  Nope, 2 drops a day until the last day when I could move on to three drops.  Each vial is $75.00.

·       I liked being awake for most of it.

·       Home is heaven.  The second day it was back to the doctor.  It went well, he said.  My astigmatism is reduced by 50% in that eye.  Lots of other things are much improved too.  Back home to fix dinner and get G to put the living room back the way it was.  I’m not allowed to lift over 20 pounds.  Home is vastly better now.

·       First bout of PT.  I couldn’t walk for three days afterword’s.

·       George.  This man has spoiled me rotten theh last couple of weeks.  I can’t tell you how much I appreciate him.  Brings me breakfast.  Doing the driving.  Lunch yesterday.  Going with me to all my appointments.  I can’t express how grateful I am.

• Myself:  Waiting for the next visit.  Don’t want the stress test at the Cardiologist.  They kill you.  The doctor laughed at me, but that’s what they do.
