• I have a Planning Commission meeting right after work this afternoon. The good news is that I drove myself into work this morning because I didn't want Rick to have to deal with taking me to the meeting. Meetings are boring and I didn't want him to fall asleep! 
  
• After I get home from the meeting, we are heading to the mall. Rick says he needs a hair cut and I want to look at new shorts and capris and some new tops for work.
• Some gardening needs to get done tonight, if it doesn't rain. Last night, the skies opened and it poured. More of the same is forecast for tonight, so we shall see what happens. It's really hot and sticky out right now and will be for the rest of the week. With chances of t-storms every night.

Went to the eye doctor.
Had thr the usual check with the eye drops and waited half an hour.
After a very good and thorough examination esd told
No sugar.
No pressure.
Time to remove my cataracts!!!!!!

I'm amazed I didn't just burst into tears. I'm scared. He told me no pressure
When I'm ready to call him.
What do I do? Wait till after my big '0'.birthday in August or what?
All advice will be hlsdky received.
Thanks

My dad had cataracts removed from both eyes, a year apart. It's eerie because you're awake and watching it all happen... he said he felt no pain though, and it was a pretty quick procedure. The doctor he saw literally had an line up of patients waiting to see him every single day, like a conveyer belt. The part that sucks is the getting prepped and waiting.

When I went to go pick him up from the hospital after the second one, he was actually outside and walking around the grounds of the hospital looking for my car. He couldn't drive for a while, obviously, and his vision was iffy right after the surgery but at his six month checkup, his vision was substantially better to the point where the ophthalmologist came and got my mom from the waiting room to show how much his vision had improved because he was just in shock. If you have a few weeks to spare to just sit around and relax at home with some eyedrops, go ahead and do it. We were very fortunate for the positive experience my dad had, and he had no hesitation getting the second eye done after the ease of the first.

Good luck!

I have all the time in the world to sit around. I'm a lazy pensioner. But I'm also a procrastinator. Thank you for your input. It is very helpful. I'll procrastinate a bit longer

An elliptical is a piece of exercise equipment that mimics a bit of walking and running with a little bit of gravity using low impact. You're not jumping or jogging, but there are placements for your feet and poles for your hands to move simultaneously in an exaggerated walking motion. I think they're the least intense machines you can use at the gym, so they're my favourite. :lol3: Since @Winchester
's got Buford, it's a good way to get exercise with minimal physical strain.

Judy, the first time you asked about an elliptical, I had posted a link to a picture of an elliptical for you.

Pam I'm so sorry. It probably didn't click but thank you for taking the time.
