Thanks and Good luck to you. They say that this is a safe operation and close to 100% successful.

One can only hope...(my fingers and toe's are crossed) :-)

((HUGS))Good Thursday morning, Beach. How’s it going?

[EXCH54FE]

Yep, both of the (old) eyes. Went from “Small” about six years ago to “Lets get it done” today. Them pesky night lights with the shining light ring was getting bad. Who wants to drive at night???

[beachn4fun]

Good morning Old Feisty Vet.

Thank you for your service.

My eye doctor did tell me that the procedure was better now that years before and the vision improves greatly.

Good luck.

[beachn4fun]

Happy Thursday morning to you EG ((HUGS))

All is well.

Howz it out your way? Have your temps gone up as promised?

[left that other site]

Wednesday was wonderful. I have some really committed musicians on Wednesday. It makes “hump Day” worthwhile!

((((HUGS))))

[PROCON]

Morning Beachie!

So, this is your retirement year, what day is it going to be?

I am having my surgery done by the VA, the doc I'm going to has a great reputation.

I really need some more coffee this morning, have a great day!

[tomkow6]

Stay warm, MS Feather!

[E.G.C.]

It actually got up to near 80 yesterday. Bo and I had some fun out at the lake.

Today out forecast high is 57 but still nice. May do another trip to the lake later today.

[EXCH54FE]

Tanks for the good wishes.

Yep, it seams like the longer you wait for some procedures, the better they get.

The trick is to get it done in time too save the eyes and the sight!!! and still get all the new improvements...

Have a great day :-)

[Soaring Feather]

Trying to stay warm Tom, dang near impossible.

How is it out your way?

Yup, I’ve set my retirement date for 12/18/15 (which happens to be my dad’s birthday too).

I’m glad the doctor who have has a good rep. It takes some of the stress out of the surgery. Good luck!

[beachn4fun]

57 is better than the 19 I had this morning, AND the zero Ma had.
