Even "simple ...Eye docs are miracle workers. Even "simple stuff" like cataract surgery when the aged lens in oldsters gets all trashed up and hard to see thru. (Like looking thru a car windshield covered with bugs and dirt after a few years of not being cleaned). They mash up the original lens in the eyeball with lasers, suck it out, and slip in a new plastic replacement. After a couple of weeks you are good as new with zero pain, and only an eye patch for a day plus a couple of nights to avoid damaging the tissue as it heals. So quick you don't even get a parrott to go with the patch.<br /><br />Had my second one done yesterday, first about 3 weeks ago. WONDERFUL!!!!!<br /><br />That was the easy stuff, Sarge is going for the higher level of complexity and skill, but they are still miracle workers who can fix all sorts of stuff today that was untreatable in our parents era. Prayer for total success in your case.<br /><br />Thank you docs (and your staffs, it's a team effort).<br />John BlackshoeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-6550028853068158532022-05-27T15:35:36.695-07:002022-05-27T15:35:36.695-07:00Things went well according to the doc, but I'm...Things went well according to the doc, but I'm Cyclops for the next few hours.

Firefox (the browser that allows me to use my call sign) popped up a message about a new capability to prevent websites from following you all over the internet. I thought that's a great plan and said ok. Oops! Now, Firefox doesn't have the ability to remember me and only offers the anonymous option. So, I've got to figure out how to turn that back off. If anybody's got a clue, I'd appreciate it.<br />juvatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-12174688445897546582022-05-27T14:06:31.146-07:002022-05-27T14:06:31.146-07:00Your timing is superb.

That's common as dirt in south Texas. What wasn't common was the sky was overcast and it lasted for more than 15 minutes. Eye doc said if I saw something floating, go straight to his office on my return home. 15 minutes later, there's a floater... The jello in your eye shrinks as you age, and pulls away from the retina. That could tear it, but mine didn't tear. Nearsighted folks have weaker retinas than others do. Got both sides tack welded in all the weak spots. Most uncomfortable thing I've ever forced myself to sit through. The yearly checkups are still good. I can recommend the doc I used in San Antonio.<br /><br />STxARhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04588850178293194825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-5046499547878918542022-05-27T04:13:04.161-07:002022-05-27T04:13:04.161-07:00Eye'll be seeing u later, gator..........heh h...Eye'll be seeing u later, gator..........heh heh heh.......snort.....gasp.......(choke)Nylon12noreply@blogger.com
