DRAMA!

 Photo' for dramatic reasons,


Yesterday's  cataract procedure on my left eye went well.


The Doctor was running late (so what's new).  I went  into the operation room 35 minutes late, but emerged 20  minutes earlier than the scheduled time.

It's all painless.   I was so utterly relaxed on the gurney (the mild IV anesthetic probably helped). The surgery felly like a soothing eye massage.

I'll  have a check up at 8:00 today (Friday)  Then I'll most probably cleared for driving.

The eye is still sore (I am allowed to use medically approved eye drops at will).  My left eye sight is still very blurry - it will be two or three days before I get the full benefits,

Now I know what to expect when I have my right eye fixed on 20th April.


The photograph?  I covered my eye with a Perspex shield so that I could not rub it in my sleep.

I knew that.  Then the light dawned.  Up until that moment I had thought that it was Tuesday, not Monday. You'd think that calendars had not been invented! It got worse. I took Cooper for an early pee walk this afternoon.  He lifted his leg to cue. Then he took a strong and mad dash towards a Squirrel.  I fell down.  And great was my fall. Lots of scrapes.  No bones broken. Pictures not in order. Excuse duplicates. No sympathy please - I was foolish. Fortunately, I had an arm bandage to sop up the blood. It looks worse than it is. BUT  1.  I was foolish in two ways. First, I had taken Cooper on a short leash.  I'd have had more control with the double handled long leash. 2. When he made his mad dash, I should have dropped ...
