I’m going to get my chance to pace the poop-deck, (Heh, Heh, I said poop 😆 ) and do my best pirate impersonation.
When eye wrote of having an impending eye operation, eye expected to be given a couple of weeks warning, so that we could adjust our sleep schedules. We are unlike most retirees, staying up late partying reading, and sleeping in.
Eye got 93 hours – less than four days – notice. A lovely tech named Olivia (Suddenly eye’m surrounded by Olivias.) called, at 11:30 AM, Thursday, January 3rd. to say that eye had surgery scheduled for 8:00 AM, Monday, Jan. 7th, and to be at the hospital by 6:00 AM to register.
It was bad enough getting the wife to a local hospital by 6 AM for her two knee surgeries, but this hospital is an extra hour and a half drive away. We’ll have to be ready to leave by 4. I might as well just stay up. I could peacefully sleep through the operation, but the wife would need sleep to drive me home. Then I need to be back at the same hospital by 7:30 the following morning, for assessment and removal of my pirate eye-patch.
Eye’m posting this note a day ahead of my normal schedule, just to give you the heads-up that I threatened promised. Just after midnight, eye’ll click publish on my regularly scheduled A To Z Challenge. After that, eye may not post for a few days, or a week.
Eye’ll see you here soon…. I hope. 😎

Thanx! I am sanguine about, say, abdominal incisions. I had a hernia patch put in a couple of years ago…. but an eye??! and I’ll be conscious (maybe). 😈

My walking partner has a problem in one eye and has to have an injection into the eye every 4 weeks, so I have some sympathy for what you are going through. Good Luck!

Thank you! I took a pair of glasses in to my optometrist for repair yesterday. The tech told me that they will receive almost immediate electronic report of the results, including whether I’ve been a good or bad patient. (Do bite marks count?) I may get a chunk of coal next Christmas. The injection should stop the crying…. but what about the whining? 😳

Good luck, Archon. Hope all goes well – both with the surgery and with the drive.

Thanx! We’ve had this car for almost 3 years, and T drove it for the first time Friday, and again yesterday, for practice. I drove down and back for the initial examination, and will drive down again tomorrow. T handles the car well enough, but has some problems about where she is, and where she’s going. We may accidentally come to visit you. 😉

I think I can count to three. As for reputable – for the old neighborhood?? 😯 or the new, gated community? 😉 😆
