susandennisGetting the cataract out of the first eye is a big tado. Lots of appointments, lots of instructions, lots of checking and double checking.
Getting the cataract out of the second eye is nearly a nothing burger.
I went in today and didn't even see the doctor. Her assistant did everything - eye measuring etc. Slam bam, thank you ma'm. Next stop, the knife on 9/25. Pretty cool, actually.
There are three different eye drops you have to take before and after. 2 of them cost $70 each. Today she gave me a free sample for one of the $70 ones - score!!! On the down side, I just did the math and even with my deductible all paid up for the year, this is going to cost me $800. 20% of the doctor bill, the surgery bill and the anesthesiologist bill.
Oh well, it's my last eye, rigtht? I guess I'm glad I only have two!
They are going to put a near field lens in this one - the other has the far field. So, except for teeny weeny stuff, I should be able to read whatever I want with no glasses at all. For-ev-er!!! Yahooooo!!!

I got an email response to my what goes where questions from the city's ask us email. Both used tissues and k-cups go into garbage - not recycling and not food/yard waste. Glad I asked, I sure would have guessed wrong on the tissues.

No ballgame tonight. Time for TiVo catchup. My summer shows - Suits, Burn Notice, White Collar, and that one with the two cops that I can never remember the name of - are all coming to a close. I have about 3 or 4 of each yet to watch and time, I think, before the new season of shows on the old timey channels starts. I do like the new show Major Crimes. I think it's going to work our just fine as a Closer replacement.

Steak and french fries for dinner tonight, I think, with a little salad.

Me too, but I think I'm going to miss Brenda and Pope. (Although I won't miss wanting to slap Brenda every time she used her job to avoid her personal life.)
