I met the cataract team today. Lucky me got a ride through my insurance and was picked up by taxi that I didn't have to pay for. After all the tests and eye scans they had to do I met with my doctor, boy is he young, he just turned 30 in June. Well, after blinding me with all them lights that he had me look into I was told I was a good candidate for Cataract surgery. That's the good news. The almost good news is that i am scheduled for surgery on September 4th. Well, it could be worse, right? In the photo is Sandi the brown pup and her mom Rebel. They loved to chase Frisbees.

How would you do without the possibility to drive the car for almost a full month?

I will be ok, I did it back in October when I had surgery on my retina so this time I am more prepared.

@rebelann I remember you already had a serious surgery. This time should be easier.

I'm glad it's scheduled. Soon you will see again.

It does seem the older we get the younger the doctors become.

I think that is great news. We're already part way through August. Are you a bit worried about the operation? I hope not. Everyone I know who has had the op has been really pleased with it.

After what I went through last October I am not at all skeptical, this one will be a breeze.

Yeah, I was told that most people get them after age 65. My mom lived 99 years and never once had eye troubles.

Yes, the young doctor tole me I should expect my vision to become better than 20/40 in my left eye, the right one has always been legally blind.

Do you have one eye done at a time or both at the same time?
