Cataracts, Crepes, and Radar

Has the return to standard time got my circadian rhythm in better alignment with the clocks? When’s the last time I started writing as early as 9:19 AM? This is when I want to start writing. Yesterday was a long day. Two of my friends had cataract surgery and I was their escort from the […]

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 […]

Live and Let Dilate

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 […]
