I’m listening to a fun recording of Beethoven’s symphonies 2 and 5 stripped down to three players. Emmanuel Ax on piano, Yo-Yo Ma on cello and Leonidas Kavakos on violin. Really lovely.

Well, our $2,200,000 budget passed the first hurdle today.

That's great, Larry!

(I had no idea that it would be that much! )

It's rather ambitious: four studio cast recordings, one semi-original cast recording, total of 10 CDs, one a 4-disc set.

[elmore3003]

Eye vibes, DR Ron.

Ditto!

I am wondering who among you has had cataract surgery.

My doctor at the VA wants me to have surgery on the 9th of May.

In order to do this, I must have an appointment on the 2nd of May, I was told, for preparation.

Oddly, to me, I have THREE appointments on the 2nd of May: One at 9:30, one at 12:30 and one at 1:30.  I cannot imagine having to be briefed by three different offices for one procedure.

I believe one is for anesthesia, but what the other two are I haven't a clue.

Any ideas?

Anesthesia?  Won't you be awake for this?

I'm thinking it will be some form of localized anesthetic to deaden the eye.  That's what I don't know yet.

That sounds about right.

Soon by book group will be discussing an unusual book, The Legend of Colton H. Bryant by Alexandra Fuller.

[Jane]

The book is nonfiction, however, the author admits taking narrative liberties and composing dialogue, and occasionally juggled chronology “to create a smoother story line”.

That 4-CD set makes me curious. Could it be Merlin? Or Sarava?

I remember reading something else by her. It was the same.

And it's:  Tech Week!

At least I don't have to be at rehearsals till 4pm each day, except today when I'll go in early to get set up in the pit.

"I'm in tech!" was the kind-of-classic response on SMASH to Dev's marriage proposal

So if anyone proposes ...

I think it was Long Before the Rains Come.

Has anyone read a new thriller called The Cartographers?

[Freddie]

Ron P, vibes that the eye meetings and procedure go well!

Monday evening greetings!  We did some errands today and had lunch at Main Street Deli in Springboro.  They’re in a new location, still on Main Street.  The sandwiches were as good as ever, but you no longer get chips and a pickle unless you order a “combo” for an additional charge.

I'm up, I'm up - all told, about nine and a half hours of sleep - here's how it went. Slept maybe two hours from 3:30 to 5:30. Up for ninety minutes. Slept from  6:30 to app 9:30 - the publisher called, so I had that conversation then we got them all the book files, so they're now in possession of all that and doing their initial check-in process, which usually takes two or three days, after which it goes to the designer team. Back to bed at 10:30, slept till 3:30. I think the math doesn't work, but I know I got nine and a half.

[bk]

And I'm groggy as HELL.

[bk]

And, of course, not much left to the day, which is fine.

[bk]

Not sure about food.

[Jeanne]

Hello, everyone.

[John G.]

Hello, DR Jeanne.

[John G.]

It has rained most of the day here and it’s much cooler than this morning.

[Ginny]

DR Ron,  I had cataract surgery in 2017 and my husband followed in 2019.  I suspect one of your appointments will be for taking measurements to determine the size of the lens to be implanted.  And, yes, you’ll be semi-awake, but still under the care of an anesthesiologist.

You may also be meeting with someone who will explain the pre-op and post-op eye drops routine.

[Freddie]

TOD:  Is William Latham considered not in the mainstream? 
This is a favorite by him.

Ron, they really should explain all this to you. Maybe that's why they scheduled so many appointments.

They usually do one eye first, then the second one a few weeks later. During the interim your glasses will not work well for you! I was unable to drive until the second eye was done.

There's a complicated schedule for prescription eye drops that must be adhered to for maybe 10 days in advance. No eye drops, no surgery. I had 3 prescriptions, each on a different schedule. Again, they need to be clear on this and should give it to you in writing and be available for questions.

I had "twilight anesthesia," which is supposedly a dreamlike state. I was out cold and felt no pain. The procedure only takes about 15 minutes, but you may have some pain afterwards.
