We was sorta worried it may come up while away ….so I phoned the eye specialist who visits our area to do cataracts every 2nd month ……and they said no he’s still 3- 6 months down the list …..I then phoned the local hospital just incase ….they had a list …. No they didn’t have his name down on an upcoming list …….. and what do you know they ring me 3 days after arriving here …….for him to have his eye done on March 28th …..fair enough ….BUT he has to see the anaesthetist the day we are supposed to leave here …..on March 17th …sigh …..so now we will be leaving on March 16 th to get home by lunch time on 17th so we have to travel non stop …..but we have pillows and blankets so we can stop for a nap in the road it we need to …. We will get up at 3.30 am ….and with luck be home by 9.30 pm ….1300 Km He’s been waiting 5 years so we don’t dont to miss the chance of him getting his eye done …..and we do what we have to do ….

Have a consultation appointment next Tuesday re a cataract. Had one done a few years ago. The optometrist thinks the other needs done. If I remember correctly, there was nothing to the first one. Light anesthetic and very little recovery. Maybe the cataract is the problem with my putting on the golf course!! Haven't been able to make a putt in the past few weeks. Lost another 75 cents yesterday.!!!!

Our were slow growing as well …..but 5 years latter hubs has got worse …. joybelle if you are on the public waiting list you just have to wait your turn ( like us ) it $5.000 an eye if you have to pay yourself I had mine done prob 8-9 years ago ..it’s marvellous….I’ve never had to wear distance glasses ..only have them for reading in dull lighting. we both normally have a eye test in April each year …and the Optometrist says I’ve got 20 ..20 vision

Will try to stay caught up. Doing Forum Games @5 a.m. works pretty well. Can eat my Cheerios and dun the gauntlet of games. But...
The next week or two might be touch and go. Entered the order, yesterday afternoon, for our new maintenance facility building at the golf course. Estimating finished cost ~$500,000. Now soliciting bids for the concrete, electrical, mechanical, etc. Building to be on site in late June or early July. Need lots done before then. Staking it out this afternoon. Meeting dirt contractor there tomorrow. Need to get emails out to some subcontractors yet today. What else is there to do when you're almost 77 years old except sit in your recliner and rot away?
This coming Tuesday, go in to have a cataract removed. That will take me off the golf course for a few days, so might spend more time on the laptop. Don't know. Doubt I'll miss many days on Forum Games, but don't worry if I am absent once in a while.
Life is good!!!!
