Yay, I have things to write about. There’s music, there’s friends, and there’s medical news. Let’s play this backwards and start in the evening. It was the second Tuesday of the month and that means John Platt’s On Your Radar. The original lineup included two Budgiedome alumni, Martin Swinger and Quarter Horse. Then with less […]

Lorelei’s Lament
Sorry I didn’t write this morning. I had a rough night. I’ve had a cold that’s been keeping me up at night. I spend the night coughing and with a sore throat. My plan yesterday was to stay in except for a trip to the drug store for cold meds and cough drops. Guess who […]

A Vision Shared
Sorry I missed blogging yesterday; the reason is what I’m going to write about today. This is going to be another vision/health edition of Wise Madness. Let’s recap where we were. Monday: Cataract surgery Tuesday: Shield is removed from eye and I see 20:25 and not only don’t need my glasses to see my computer […]
My eyes are perhaps worse than yesterday. I’m wearing my glasses while I type this. I called the ophthalmologist yesterday and he was supposed to get back to me today. He didn’t so I called again and was promised he would return my call. They did apologize. I seem to see in the distance just […]
Yesterday I had cataract surgery; today I find myself living in a new world. This world is sharper, this world is more vibrant, this world is more detailed. Looking out the window gives me pleasure; it’s more than just a blur. I have not seen this well without glasses since college. This morning I got […]
I’m not sure how this will go but I’m going to attempt a limited vision edition of Wise Madness. This is the story of my cataract surgery. I had to be at the hospital at 6 which meant getting up at 5. I tried to go to sleep early but to no avail. That lack […]
I’m behind in my blogging but now is the time to catch up. You can read about me seeing Jean Rohe, James Shipp, and Taylor Ashton, a big scare I had, and an idiot story. Don’t touch that dial. We pick the story up on Friday after therapy. I had to make it from Harrison, […]
I’m getting cataract surgery! Yesterday I had my first appointment with Dr. Schultz. Unlike the last time I attempted this, one visit was enough. As of February 4, I should no longer be blind. What a relief. I haven’t been able to see well in years. First I didn’t have insurance. Then I had insurance […]
I finished watching Ken Burns’ Baseball and that gives me an excuse to write about the greatest game in January. But first a word from my life. On the bus ride home from the supermarket yesterday my phone rang; it was my gastroenterologist. She got the results of my MRI. She wants to move up […]
I had an MRI this morning and it has disrupted my entire day. On the bright side it gives me something to write about. My gastroenterologist ordered it, every other test has shown that my ileitis is quiescent but as I’ve had such a long history and have been off meds for over a decade […]
