Notes from the School House 4/22/2011



Yesterday had a two hours or more Evaluation on getting ready for Cataract Surgery.
This was quite an ordeal .
But first.The appt.was set at 12:40
Someone drove me in as this was recommended,
Sitting around talking to some of the people there and noticed that time was going by fast and no on called me in yet.So after an half hour went up to the desk and ready to walked out.If I am there on time,expect them to be there on time.LOL
The woman was very polite.Mr.Rossi I will checked this out for you and she did
What happened that the forgot the printout out in back to let them know that I was here.The printer was now working probably as they say.
Right away they too me in and this is almost one thirty.

Before I get into this.
Never in my life have I seen so many elders.
Walking with cane,scooters,walkers etc.
Thought that I was in the wrong place.
Like a nursing home.
I am very sorry being like this and cannot helped.
Why do I get annoyed with these people?
Many of the men as their posture was failing and stooping.
Why,why are they this way.
Bad posture is one of the reason.
I swear to myself that will not get this way if I can helped it.
All they talk about is this illness and the next.
I know this all very well about elders has many crises.
So helped me.
This is one thing that I will not discuss my health issues with anyone.Why?who wants to hear it.They have their own problems.
Sorry,for the rambling.
So all of my elders out there.Take care.
Keep moving.Do something if you can.
Getting away from my evaluation of cataract.
First they test your eyes.
Show you a video of whats happening.
Told them that this did not helped me too much.
Not closed captioned.LOL.
Well,you can see the image.
Then the doctors comes in and check the eyes.
Right eye is worse than the left.
But not bad.You can wait or have it done now.
Lets get this over with,she says good.
They talked about enhanced lens option.
Medicare pay for the regular,but not for this.
You have to pay out of your pocket and only 800 dollars if you want it done.For those who choose not to wear glasses.
Told them have to think about this.
After wearing glasses for numbered of years and your face is molded.
Without glassed I do not looked all that well as matter of fact ugly.LOL.
Tend for me to look much older.
So will make up my mind later.
The last two hours.
They measured your eyes,ultrasound and tons of paper worked to filled out.Along with precription for eye drop
I as exhausted by all of this.
Finally,she said:any question?yea,need to pee.LOL.
Mike was waiting for me to take me home.
When I stepped outside,ouch the light took me for a loop.
I am scheduled when back from my holiday.
Have to get a physcial etc.June first the date.
BY THE WAY GOT SCOLDED FOR NOT INCLUDING THIS.


HAPPY PASSOVER TO MY JEWISH FRIENDS.
FORGOT TO MENTIONED THIS.
YOU KNOW WHO SCOLDED ME.LOL
DID NOT WANT A RELIGIOUS PICTURE AND THOUGHT THAT THIS WAS COLORFUL AND A HAPPY ONE.
WHEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing other people my age often scares me. It makes me wonder: Do I look that old? Is my health failing?
Like your colorful image. Hopefully, Martin did too.

yes,it does.But one saying to him or herself whats going on here and why is this happening?So I guess we have to keep moving.Yes,death will come to us but we try to prolong it if we can.

I'm with you on the health issues. Several people on my Utah trip said they hoped they could be as active and in shape when they're my age. My last optometry visit indicated I was on my way to having cataracts. I detect "yellowing" in one eye. Thanks for the info.

Yes,they also give you a chose for extra if you want to be free of glasses.Cost extra but it may be worth it?
reply by fredo on Apr 24, 2011 1:44 PM ()
Yes I do but I don't say I won't!

I had this done and it was a breeze. Did not hurt hardly at all. I was
not offered the enhancement or I would have chosen a colored lense. My
eyes are green but I would like them greener.

'I will not discuss my health issues with anyone.' And here you
spend a whole post talking about it!!
comment by greatmartin on Apr 22, 2011 2:04 PM ()
Well thought that need to write something.
Just wanted to hear feed back on anyone having this done.
This was mostly for you to wish you a Happy Passover and wanted to filled up the page.By the way you do discussed your medical issues.Who are we kidding.

You'll never be old, Fredo, you're young at heart attitude keeps you young.

Thanks.WE have to keep going.

Good job on the pic for Greatmartin.
Doctors offices are the pits. They make you wait forever then give you about 10 minutes of their time. Not a fan. Your trip is coming up!!!

A number of the ladies we play cards with have had cataract surgery. They all said it did wonders, and they didn't seem to have too much trouble during the recovery period.
comment by lunarhunk on Apr 22, 2011 11:53 AM ()
