Now I See

Tuesday the 21st we went to Chehalis to see Marie's lawyer, when we finished up there we had an hour until our appointment at the funeral home so we went to Dairy Dan's for the first time and had hot fudge sundaes.  Boy were they good, now we are planning on going back sometime.  The meeting at the funeral home went pretty good, most of the arrangements got taken care of and we headed home through the smoke.

Wednesday I couldn't eat all day because of my cataract surgery in the afternoon.  Michelle volunteered to do the drive home for us.  The drive down was easy and we got there a little early which was good because it took a couple of minutes to find the check in, which we had walked right by!  The surgery took about two hours total to do both eyes.  The staff and doctors at Kaiser are great, they told you their name and exactly what they were doing and why.  They made it a very pleasant experience.  Michelle did the driving after that, we stopped at Panera Bread in Vancouver for dinner, then stopped at the Kalama Chevron to say hi to James.  I slept in my recliner with my dark sunglasses on so I wouldn't be tempted to rub my eyes which were really scratchy.  This morning they were much better and I could see great!  I could tell right away that the double vision was gone and everything looked very sharp.  I had a 10:20 Postop appointment and it was nice on the drive down not to see two fog lines.  The appointment went great, I have 20-20 vision now so I will not have to wear those glasses but I will need to use reading glasses for fine print.  The doctor took out the one stitch he had put in and everything was finished there.  He mentioned that the stitch was 1/20th of the size of a human hair.  I sure couldn't feel anything when he did it.  We went to Costco afterwards and I picked up some reading glasses that just happened to be on sale.  Then we wandered the aisles picking up a few things and some snacks.  This evening I went out to the shop, did a little work on the delta and checked out some speed controls.
