TNXS. All is well. About 20/20 in each eye. Right eye has an astigmatism, which leaves it a little off. Checkup the 18 of month to remove stitch and check for glasses, don't think they'll give me any.
Maybe it's a redneck thing, but I've heard folks say, "Going to have cataracts taken off." Hey they're not on outside of the eye. I thought that till I talked with the Dr. A person can have a bunch of problems with cataract surgery. I'm happy as a pig in shit. Although I still hunt my glasses at times.

Wow. I thought cataract surgery using stitches stopped about a decade ago.

Here's a video of the modern surgery, including placement of the new, artificial lens. There are two small incisions, which don't need stitches. If you're squeamish about surgery videos, don't click on the link.

Banana lady just got one of hers done, reports that it's fantastic. I'm glad, it scared me how little she could see when she was here at Christmas

After my glasses came, I thought the right lens was off. But not my luck. Have a pinhole in retina.
Back to the cutting board next month.

Humor aside. I'm not sure just how many times they can plunder around in ye old eyeball.
I don't have the proper age or the body for a damn eye patch.

Pre-op work at Jackson va and the UMC on 6/20. Boy what fun. Just have to hunt a @#$ parking place in two lots. Surgery on 23. Since that's a teaching school, guess I'll be the poster old goat for class.

Ham it up. Use made-up words. Be obstinate. Address the doctor as "young feller" and the students as "whippersnapper". Call all objects - and some people - "thingy". Have an onion tied to your belt.
