The self improvement regimen continues with an additional surgical procedure. I have signed up for cataract surgery' Hopefully I can get it scheduled in the next month. They tell me there are no contraindications with my Chemo so I figure I might as well get it done now that I'm into medical exploration mode.
I've had about a half-dozen appointments leading up to this point. Pleasantly, I've been able to do all this within the Santa Rosa VA system. The next appointment is at SFVA to "measure" for my "replacement lens" and then the surgery, again in SF following in about a week if all goes well. I'll spend 2 days at SFVA as the doctor needs to see the patient 24 hours after the surgery. I will then be permitted to drive home apparently without an eye-patch. Amazing, huh?

Did you have the cataract surgery yet or do you just have an appointment in the distant future? I had mine done several years ago and discovered that having had lasik is not helpful for cataract surgery because it messes with their calculations for fixing the cataracts. I ended up having two surgeries on each eye to get my vision correct. It's great now, although I do wear readers but I'm okay with that because my dogs think I look very sexy in them.
