@leejackson they are not bad. It is the prep that is the worst part. I have had 3 or 4 already.

@leejackson

It’s not as bad as you think. No pain. Disgusting liquids to drink but not nearly as icky as it used to be.

Don’t get yourself worked up. You’ll breeze right through.

Remember the time before IDEs? When you wrote thousands of lines of code in a text editor. And then you'd compile it and get the error "There's a missing semicolon somewhere, but we're not giving you a hint at to where".

@leejackson
Ah yes, that would indicate the full procedure.

Well I totally empathize. Good for you for getting it underway, and I hope they find it totally uninteresting.

Would a thumbs up be in bad taste?
Nah, you've got to laugh at the hard stuff.

👍 😁

JUST A REMINDER

NOTHING HAS CHANGED SINCE THEN

@leejackson I'm doing well, thanks Lee. The weather is threatening, but we'll see what happens. Overall, I'm grateful for the life I have today. Wasn't always like that.

One thing that you have is that you know where you stand regarding your health. That is so key to a person's outlook. Hang in, Lee!

@leejackson I know the feeling. I am waiting for the VA to get me scheduled for cataract surgery. I really wish they would hurry. I tired of everything looking like I am looking through water.

@leejackson I recently had the cataract surgery in both eyes, and lasik on one. Don’t suffer- slow vision loss is a sneaky rat bastard that reduces your quality of life in ways you won’t notice, as it’s so gradual. Also, I read that there is a new treatment for cataracts that’s non-surgical. No idea if that means it happens in a lab or if it’s a commercially available deal. This stranger on the internet simply says, don’t put it off. Good luck and good health.

@leejackson Sorry but glad you had insurance. My grandfather had cataracts so it's something my optometrist is watching for in me. So far so good.

I had to deal with some difficult people today.

Some folks know *precisely* when they are being rude, but I think many many folks have no idea how abrasive they are being, because they are so caught up in whatever is causing them distress.

This helps me navigate challenging encounters.

It does make me extra tired, though.

@leejackson Lee, I hope that your cardiologist visit will get you some form of relief. Best wishes for a good report.

Oh my. Our local meat guy had a special on these 2” thick bone-in ribeyes. Sous Vide at 130F then a couple minutes searing. Amazing, barely needed a knife.

@leejackson Sounds like a good plan. We really need a fixit button to solve all this. We rooting for you out here!
