WTF-Beta

I can see.
Had cataract surgery Tuesday.  Doc could not complete it. I have tough cataracts.  That eye has been damaged. Sent me to a doc at another clinic. Had surgery Thursday.  It was a much better experience.   Today I could see a symbol of a large broken ring on the screen. My vision in that eye is expected to improve. That is a great improvement. Was told I could lose the vision  in  that  eye.

My father's writing was artful. I cannot read my own sometimes. That is ok, I cannot hear or rmake sense of the poor speech of many people.

Thanks to each of you.
Had a second surgery this morning. They removed the cataracts that were stuck to the lens, among other things. This is going as predicted. The eye was damaged severely when I was a teenager and they said the structure was weak and squishy. The place I had surgery this morning was a luxury hotel compared to the subway of the other place. The staff was upbeat. The surgeon seemed to be so intelligent his brain was throwing sparks. The first surgeon was named Wright, second Wong. Told Wong I had gone from Wright to Wong. I was told my vision would not be better after these procedures and that I may require thick glasses full time by three of the doctors I have seen for this. There will be more surgeries on the right eye before they start on the left one.

Yesterday I had cataract surgery. The surgeon told me on my first visit not to opt for the extra cost lenses because the cataracts were so bad and the eye had been so severely injured when I was a teen that it might take more than one surgery to get it right. She also said I could lose my vision.
My vision was 20-30 in March of last year, the optometrist told me to get the cataracts removed when I returned to Tucson. but the cataracts grew quickly.
Today I see a retina specialist, hopefully he will schedule me for further surgery to correct the current mess. My right eye can now only see light and some movement.
I asked the anaesthesiologist to put me out so that I would not know what was going on. He said he could not do that. I was aware of what was going on and could hear speech, but not what was being said. I consider that to be something worthy of Stephan King or, better, Edgar Allan Poe.
On the drive home, Bob had to stop so I could throw up three times. I could not walk a straight line. I was nauseous and could not keep anything down.
I took three melatonin and an ondansetron. Have started eating small bits this morning.

Have done that. It can be very effective.

That is a good video. I feel as though I know that woman.

Jon,
Thank you

Very British of them.

How many of those eager to get Ozempic were fighting the Covid vaccines?

More than one of the young women in the audience appeared to be ready to accept an invitation to spend that long winter night with Lightfoot.

Bless her heart

Give the press something to print. Easy work for the journalists and they will not be digging for anything else.
Angelina Jolie gave the news something to print daily. It got printed. That boosted her career.

Have read some of it and I think it is excellent.

"Remington"? not Colt or Browning?

I don't want to know what they plan to do in there.

Grand Junction is in Mesa county. I found a house there I liked. A friend and others have moved there from Denver because of the low real estate prices. Bob said absolutely not.
Mesa county is right wing, very.
Grand Junction is the sort of place where people expect vehicles to be polite and get out of the way when they are merging onto the interstate.

@Steve-Miller
Wish that were surprising.

Got a letter from a company offering to lease farmland to solar panel use.
The letter's wording reeked of fraud and the $$ offered what cheap.
Tossed it.
