Time to headback to work

Are you walking or driving? Do you have a parking space at work?

I don't have a reserved parking space but there is a parking lot. I am driving because it's been bitter cold and very windy

I think the universe is telling MR BK it's time to write THAT book.

Great photo of John G last night.

I see some facial hair, presumably an attempt to stay warm. Looks like you're succeeding and having a good time.

Good news on the Vixmom front. I suspect that once she gets settled in she'll feel like she's almost retired. Such short hours!

TOD:

It's been a difficult year, but there were a few good things.

I'm very glad I was able to see A Carol Christmas. I'm playing the CD a lot, but the songs go through my head whether the CD is on or not.

The midterm elections. (Thanks for reminding me, Larry.)

Mostly I'm just glad things weren't worse.

Jeanne · « **Reply #99 on:** December 18, 2018, 03:40:37 PM »

I don't often say that I'm glad to see a year end, but I'll be very glad to see 2018 end. On to better things!

Jeanne · « **Reply #100 on:** December 18, 2018, 03:42:13 PM »

I have no news.

Vibes to all.

TTFN.

People are really stupid about the Facebook hoax and they keep falling for it - it's the third time this one has gone around in two MONTHS.

Sooo stupid. Plus I find any chain mail sent to my messenger intrusive.

DR Jeanne a friend needs to make a decision regarding vision correction during cataract surgery. Talking about it got me thinking.....

How is your vision now?

Here's the first Laverne and Shirley episode I did - go to 10:20 - watch their timing - they were one of the greatest comedy teams in history. The set-up is that someone left their phone number on a bathroom wall, saying "for a good time call..."

DR George, thanks for the video about the device to deter package thieves (next time). It was really fun.

But why does the inventor talk so fast?! I thought it was only 20-somethings that did that. Anyone know why some people talk 100 mph?

DR Jeanne a friend needs to make a decision regarding vision correction during cataract surgery. Talking about it got me thinking.....

How is your vision now?

Jane, I am having LOTS of problems with my vision and I am not at all happy with the response I'm getting from the conventional (HMO) ophthalmologist. I am thus trying some alternative methods, which I'll share when I know more.

That said, if your friend is wondering if she should get a Toric lens implant, I'd say yes. BUT, there is the possibility of a secondary cataract--that's what I have--but I believe that can happen even without the Toric lens. My gripe is that they should tell you that this is a possibility, how to recognize it, and what to do. My medical team did none of that.

If your friend is considering near-vision correction, I'd say yes if you're on the computer or reading much of the day. But again, your vision changes after a few years. I could read the computer or a book very comfortably without glasses three years ago (following the surgery). I can't now; I have to get closer to the computer screen. As soon as it's 2019 I'll book with my optometrist and do a new exam. I have a prescription I could use now for the computer glasses, but I'd like to do a recheck first.

I probably would have made the same decision had I known what would happen, but I feel there is far too much marketing and not enough reality, ie, cautions, thus keeping the patient in the dark.

Good luck to your friend.

We will be using our entry back into the country next month. I hope there isn't a problem that they could only get the fingerprints for my left hand. I tried about 10 times to do the right hand but that darn cast kept getting in the way.

She hasn't gotten as far as considering near-vision correction, just possibly not correcting her vision at all as she does close up needle work or deal with always needing reading glasses on and off.

Keith has a secondary cataract. I recall it was a quick and easy fix. I just asked him and he said it was easier than going to the dentist.

Good luck and good eye vibes to you!
