osso and her eyes, again

Pan! six months already. I hope it's all the way it's supposed to be.

Thanks, there's a little something that might have to be lasered.

Pan, I think of our connection on this every time I see your posts, though fleetingly - we count on each other (you too, Roberta and other a2kers) to come out of whatever maelstrom ok. We're a ballsy group, are we not? Even the evil wimmins.

I'm not mad at you about the eye stuff, but I'm pissed as hell about the California thing... you pool of resentment about a place you hardly know, she says naaastily.

So, you heard about the hat. It's hilariously bad, but a treasure as my niece picked it and she was right for that particular day.
Hey, maybe I can give it to you... but it would be too big, I have such a big head..

My next task is to figure out how to download pics (I've gotten more tech phobic for no good reason lately). Given I do that, it'll take up some of my natural angst time, the photo editing and california commentary.

osso, things will be so much brighter after you've had your surgery.
I could tell how much the one eye bothered you and your imbalance stems
from that too. So things will definitely improve afterwards. Do you have
enough help when you get out of the hospital?

Soz, dys and diane and I have been through some health hula hoops. I'll add Roger and our local friend bbb to that. I got it that dys was teasing (you were, weren't you - sends eye wires, newly powerful).
It's true that the average reader, say, looking up retinitis pigmentosa, would have to cotton on that we are ok with this or be shocked.

Anyway, I know you understand all this via the deaf community, Soz.


Meantime, I'm hostile to people who murmur...
that was a significant part of my recent trip, how life long folks talk. The actress in children's theater did best, probably a tie with CJane.

I get that he was kidding, just sometimes it seems to be actually annoying to you so I thought I'd protectively hmph 'cause I felt protective.

Yeh, murmurers suck.

I never like osso, prolly never will, she's bringing apple pie on turkey day, that might help my attitude.

Make her eat the 1st slice, Dys, and then she how she is after 10 minutes or so.

CJ, the eye that is going to hell in a handbasket is not the one having surgery, it's the good eye with the normal enough read, for a normal enough surgery for a cataract. Opinions vary on why the last one of those (on the other eye, which I call lefty) devolved. I need righty to be copasetic in order to drive. It presently is, but barely.

Let's us hope this cataract surgery on righty is like normal people's.

Left eye will need to be addressed. It has been careening into advanced glaucoma in a short time while all measurements seem steady. There may be surgeries or it may be ruled out via medicare. Meantime, that's the one that is in trouble with glare, the one with the collapsed lid, just a physical result of four surgeries on it, what with the speculum type eyelid mechanics. There may be a another surgery or nothing.
I can come out of this in many ways. I'm an optimist.

osso, Patty should have taken you to Shiley Eye center while you were at her
house. It's on the UC campus here and has such competent experts there

It makes sense though that they perform the cataract surgery on your "good"
eye first.

Honey, poison acts quicker..

My primary eye doc was way high at Jules Stein, UCLA. I'll have this surgeon forward stuff to them.
In the meantime I've low resources.
Plus, the cal trip was an emotional exploration, and it turned out to be rich - quite rich.
I'm still a slug on typing it up, waiting for myself to work up photos. But, contemplative trip.

But wait, cj, you say I could have intervened. (stayed at cousin's for a long time? how to totally annoy and lose them..) This question happened before, when I didn't do this or that, and most times I turned out to be right. I'm pretty much on your side as I've been an aggressive patient most of my life, but I've also been spoiled in that I have mostly known the medical community (say, in west LA). It's a whole new thing being nobody. As it happens, the people at UNM like me, more or less. Having been on the supplier side of med care, I have cared about patients.

It's the piquancies of connection that matter..

actually most of the time Osso likes me, I don't worry about the pie.

Of course I love you, shithead.

That was a familial fond bit back in the day. I remember being amazed that friends called each other that.

yeah I know i'm a dear shithead but easily lovable.

Just found this, osso.
So, it's to be the 8th of December.
What's involved in the "pre op", in a few day's time?

Wishing for the best results Panz... can't have you treading on my feet as we dance a? x
