ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO

In this day and age, Cataract surgery on the eye, is a normal, everyday procedure, that occurs by the thousands on a daily basis. My simple mind hasn't quite wrapped around the idea that surgery on the human eye is an ordinary, regular medical procedure.

This morning, Patty joined the millions who have had their vision corrected with Cataract surgery. A week from today, she will have her right eye done, and her visual acuity will be much better, without the constant aid of glasses. The recovery period is pretty straight forward, with an eye patch for about 24 hours, eye drops several times a day, and a follow up visit in 5 days. Then, next week, she'll repeat the routine.

Today starts the "Run to the Sun" annual classic car event. With around 1,000 pre 1972 cars in town for the activities, they are literally everywhere. While Patty takes it easy this afternoon, I think I'll head out to the Shops at Lake Havasu, where all of the cars will be on display
