I Am a ** Chartist

 **  Chartist - historical reference.

The Cataracts in both my eyes were diagnosed on Nov 2nd 2022.

It's been a winding and slow journey since then.

I am now in the stretch before the home stretch.  Today I began a week of preparation to get me ready for the necessary measurements, which will be taken on Jan 20th.  Then and only then will I be given dates for the surgery,  ..... if my eyes are moist enough.

That's why I am a Chartist.  I am on a regimen of eye drops four times each day, plus the insertion of an oily substance (Systane)  before bed time each day. 

My neighbour Ruth Ann suggested that I should make a chart lest I lose track each day.  That was wise.

Of course I could keep my eyes moist by thinking about Gov. DeSantis, and U.K. Premier Rishi Sunak each day.  

BUT that might damage my soul.
