Bob will have cataract surgery on his right eye today. Then, except for followups he will be done.
I am off work today. Unfortunately we still have a number of sick staff. I hope everything goes well.
It is sunny and the weather will be warm. I will be back around 3 p.m.

I hope everything goes well with Bob's surgery.
It seems like there are a number of people sick here. When I called my doctor for a visit, the staff couldn't get me in faster than next month because of all the sick people calling for appointments. I told them I just needed a checkup and wasn't sick and didn't want to be around sick people so I'd hold off on seeing the doctor until people weren't so sick.

That sounds like a wise choice for you.

It is a very simple procedure. It takes about 9 minutes start to finish. This is a very good eye clinic. Thank you.

How has the surgery on the first eye improved his sight?

I think things are just sharper. He does not get eye fatigue as much when reading. He reads a lot.

@GardenGerty That's good, both the reading and the sharper vision.

I hope Bob's surgery went well. My cataract surgeries were very painful. I hate going to the doctor when there are a lot of sick people around. Are you sick too? I hope not.

I am sorry your surgeries were painful. These have not caused him anything more than itchiness for the first night. I had been sick. I still am coughing, so I made sure to stay away from others.

I do hope the second cataract surgery goes as smoothly as the first one did.
We have a ton of sicknesses around here, Influenza A seems to really be kicking some people hard. The ER's and all the Urgent Care places are always wildly busy. Take care!

I am fortunate to have a pretty good immune system. Probably from getting exposed all of the time. One of my coworkers who is much younger than me has thyroid problems and she gets sick with everything.

My best friend of many years had thyroid cancer and it was removed. She catches everything, and I do mean everything. There must be something to that, for sure.

He was nervous at first, but has found it to be easy. I think he is seeing better. He seems to better holding his lane, except, of course when the wind is blowing us everywhere.

I know you’re both glad to get that done. They’ve said my cataracts are very minimal right now, so I’m still some time off from my surgery.

The same for me. Bob is several years older than I am.

It did go well. This is a first class group of doctors, in my opinion.

My regular eye doctor says that if you live long enough, you will develop cataracts. What I am seeing is that they have refined the technique more and more and it is easier. I had taken my sister for one.

I am glad I have only been sick a little. Bob's eye surgery is to correct some problems that people get with aging.
