I have Election Fatigue. I will be so glad when this is over.

Very long, tiring day!

I left at 8 a.m. for an appointment with the Eye Guys in Augusta GA.  It was consultation for cataract surgery.

It was a long morning as I was taken into one office for tests;  seated in a waiting area; taken into another office for tests; again seated in a waiting area; and yet was tested a third time in another office.

During this, I had a semi-contentious discussion with one of the testers who had me hold something up, look through a hole with both eyes to a fixed point, and then covered each eye.  I could see the fixed point perfectly with my left eye, but not my right eye.  The tech said, "Okay, you are right-eye dominant".  I asked what that meant.  She said it was because I could see the fixed point with my right eye.  I disagreed and said, "No, I saw it with my left eye".  She looked at me oddly, and I held up my left hand and put it over my left eye: "Left eye", and then did the same with right hand and said: "Right Eye".  I couldn't figure if she was just confused about right and left or if she was channeling a mirror image.

Needless to say, the doctor got it right.

My first surgery is Nov. 14.  My second is December 3.

I was finished by 1:30 p.m.   

I stopped at Sonic and had their double smash burger with fries and a Coke.  Very tasty.  Won't get it again but enjoyed it.

By the time I arrived home, I was shot, physically mostly, but also mentally.  Took a two-hour nap and now am just moping around trying to remember that it's Friday.

Ah me.

FWIW, Barack Obama was magnificent last night in his Pennsylvania rally for Kamala.

It was refreshing, amusing and quite correct for him to cite Trump's lack of suitability for office.

Ron, that must have been very upsetting and frustrating. 

What if you hadn't known to insist that the tester get which-eye-is-which right?

DR Ron, iou think the pre-op tired you out, wait for the surgery.  I think my prep was about an hour and also involved putting lots of eye drops in my eyes.

How far away is the hospital & do you have a ride to drop you off and pick you up?

It's an hour away, and a committed driver is part of the deal.  My cousin Debra is taking me both times and on the next-day follow-ups.

I already have the drops.

I have no idea.  She was just talking aloud as she was recording the test result. 

I will say that the doctor told me they normally do the left eye before the right, but that since my left eye is my best, doing the right eye is the way for us to go.  So, it may have come up during that part of our discussion because I would have insisted the right eye go first.  I am 20/40 in the left eye and abysmally askew in the right eye.

BK sometimes suffers from active brain syndrome. My ABS is more active bladder syndrome.

I just paid 2500 to replace my ABS.
In a car with less then 24,000 miles on it.

Now, that's a crime! >:(

That's great.  Hmmm, I didn't need to do drops before the day of the surgery though I know some doctors begin them sooner.

I thought they normally begin with the worst eye.  At least that is how it was done for me and for a friend.

Well, dinner out is out so I have a California Roll that should have been here twenty minutes ago. Someone I know wanted to see the play, so I said yes but that I eat dinner out before the show. Of course, things happen, I don't find out until the last minute and I don't get a nice dinner out for the first time in two WEEKS. No more letting anyone attend with me. I have a damn routine and I've had it for the past two decades and that is IT. So, I have to now wolf down California Roll and then order something reasonable when I get home, which I do NOT want to do. I haven't eaten all damn day.
