And the month got off to a great start! In fact, it was also an early start: 5AM!!! (We're not used to that.)
Here's the short version: up at 5, to Surgery Center by 6, cataract removed from Pat's left eye, stopped for our traditional post-surgery egg McMuffin, stopped at ACE hardware, stopped at the 'cycle shop and ordered a part—and home by 9:45!
Isn't it wonderful how medicine has advanced in the last 60 years! My grandmother layed flat on her back for a week after her cataract surgery. Sure glad those days are past!
Pat is getting along fine. She feels fine and no pain. Tomorrow morning, she'll go back to the doctor, he'll look at it and pronounce it "very successful" and we'll be back to normal. Except for her eyedrops for the next three weeks or so.
