The Retirement Thread

Been wet and windy here this afternoon, dry now but still breezy.

Hopped on the indoor bike for a Zwift session and just had Shepherdess pie.

I had a cinnamon and sultana bagel with philly cheese.. HTH

I tell you, if that criminal Banksy painted a mural on my house it'd either be painted over or stripped off by lunchtime.

I have actually been told to only ever get anything like that done is I literally cannot see

my left eye is rubbish - so I am almost totally reliant on my right eye
so any op on that risks something close to blindness if it goes wrong

I have wondered - what about something to make my left eye better - but no-one seems to want to try that

When my mum need her cataracts doing they still did her left eye even though she could only see light and dark out of it . So it’s more than possible they will do the same for you when your time comes . They did do one eye at a time though and both opps went well . The only problem was my dear old mum seemed to be incapable of finding her own eye to put the drops in. 😀 So had we had to organise a relay of family and friends to do it for her .
On a similar note I have always been short sighted and a decade ago I toyed with the with thought of LASIK laser surgery but after doing some research and realising they do both eyes at the same time I chickened out. I understand the chances of things going wrong are incredibly slim but we do have a friend that’s had it done recently and they have been left with worse vision than they had before .🥲

Sometimes they do do the “bad” eye first, just to see if any complications arise before they do the one that really matters

Blimey, Mobland is getting good.

They normally only do one at a time gor this reason. Gives dome time for the vision to clear in the operated on eye.

That's what they do here in Oz

What did they say, Dave?

I have been phoning the ward and the main switchboard.......it just rings out until it cuts out. Maybe a real problem with the phones ??
Problem is that dept is not open at weekends.
NB
Vision/fog is slowly improving.

I was surprised when the optometrist suggested it. As I've said, she told me "when you wake up you will see clearly".....well that was b*llox in my case

Mind you, I can clearly see fog, maybe thats what she meant

 

[Drago]

Rest and take it easy Dave.
