Back in time for a Litttle procedure

 I haven't been around for several days....just got back in time to have a little "cataract" surgery ..since its about hour's drive and I have to be there at "O dark thirty"(rush hour traffic no less) on Tuesday...we decided it would be best to find a motel close to the Hospital...we'll check in this afternoon and not have to worry about the drive,.....plus I have to go back to the doctor(who is in the same general area) on Wednesday for a follow-up....a  Drury Suites Hotel was found, so we'll all set.....with a little relaxation this pm, I'll try to catch up on all my blogs to see where and what everyone's been  doing....since I will have my laptop.....



The surgery only takes 15 to 30 minutes....and if all goes well I'll be back at the hotel before noon...the only down side is having to put  three different types of drops in my eye 3 times a day...for a month...in fact two of the drops started yesterday morning...one 3 times a day and the other once a day.....oh well....the first week I get pampered by the Bride after that I'm pretty much free to do what I want and can go about without any "adult"supervision...fact is I can drive within 48 after the procedure....if all went well....no heavy lifting or exercise for a couple of weeks...and I get to wear a patch  over my eye....always wanted to do that since I was a small kid..ha!! Not much else happening...
Where my mind will be during surgery...Big Bend Sunrise

Until the next time, stay safe and Happy Trails to all!!...Horst sends

    Good luck. I will be watching with great interest since my left eye is on a runaway train for that procedure. Take care.

    By now your whole procedure is history so not much for me to say!! Hope it was as easy as the one David had done.
    I understand that we will all need cataract surgery if we live long enough!
