susandennisThe eye doctor declared my cataract eligible!!
The last time I went to see this same doctor was not a fun experience. I had to wait forever, the office staff was curt and unhelpful. The doctor was annoying. It was 2009.
This time, I did not even have time to check in on my phone before they called me back. The only staff person I worked with could not have been nicer, interesting or interested. The doctor was just as nice as she could be and very helpful and easy to talk to.
It was really weird how different the experiences were. Turns out I have two cataracts. One in each eye. One is very bad and the other is so insignificant, it does not interfere in any way with my vision. She's going to take the bad one out. On May 22. Yeah!!!
I have to go back on May 8 for measurements and pre-surgery instructions. And then back on the 22nd.
OH and the doctor, after I explained how I 'swim' and promised not to get my face wet (and said I could wear goggles, if she wanted me to) said that it would be best to take a couple of days off from the pool but it was up to me!!
So we are a go and I am delighted.
And I have a new webcam. It's an easy one to move around and has some options. Right now I have it sitting right next to the TV and zoomed in - http://dropc.am/p/AksU13
The old webcam is still on duty.
Now the cats say it is dinner time.
