just got the Honda clean at the local car wash. Got the full car wash with the under body wash and even the wax. Honda was HAPPY, even purred a bit...

Snow should be gone or well on the way by Sunday/Monday.

Did you see my post about getting both eyes done at the same time?

Ma, I'm here, already gave Fatima a song to look up.

It was a long day, but the surgery finally happened.

I want to commend the Spokane, WA VA Hospital and all their staff for phenomenal professionalism.

This is a huge VA hospital with 7000+ employees and all who we met were the greatest!

I'm wearing a patched eye as I type, (kinda weird), and have a follow-up tomorrow and then back to home.

It was a great experience!

Glad that everything went A OK. Have a safe trip back home and be sure to use all your eye drops. I hope your aim is better than mine. I missed a few times and hit my cheek...

I’m down to the last two drops in only the Left eye. Had an appointment with my eye doctor today, but I’m snowed in and will be until Sunday/Monday.
