Gonna get my eyes fixed !!

Had my pre-op appointment with the Eye Surgeon today. He will remove the Cataract in my left eye and put in an implant for better (sight) picture. After I get the right eye done (later, its just starting in that one) wont need glasses to do anything but Read. To get the implants that fix distance and near sight is $2550 an eye, out of pocket as NO insurance covers those. The Doc is a shooter also and says I will be good to go. He had his done 2 years ago and says it will be a world of difference. Scheduled for the 24th of April at 0630, In the OR at 0730 and out the door by 0830.

Its hell getting old, getting to be high maintenance .......

 

Thanks everyone ...... Cataract surgery is the MOST performed surgery in the US. Very high % of vision fix. Complications are rare. But surgery is surgery. Nothing is life is guaranteed, except the eventual end .....

 

Back from Eye Surgery. Went Great. Only 4 hours and I can already see out of that eye 100+ times better. Will be 24-36 hours before it clears up totally. I can look up to the range and actually see the target frames, before could not even see the range house. All the way to the top field I can see the tree line, with branches even ......

Back Monday to have it checked and if all is Ok will schedule the right eye soon. Im not gonna wait till it gets as bad as the left.

 

Things have improved GREATLY today. Already the left eye is better than the right..... Its a killer having to not Bend over with my head down for more than a few seconds. Also cant lift any weight over 10lbs. Have to wear the Ray Charles lookalike sunglasses when outside. Couldn't drive until 1200 today. AND the worst part is NO SHOOTING. At night have to wear a "Petie the Pirate" eye patch/shield. Three kinds of drops twice a day. All these restrictions are in effect until I go back 0840 Monday morning for a checkup. I'm already looking forward to having the right eye done.

Back Tuesday for a dosage increase of my new medicine for the Specific Tremor. Its gotten better but still have to work up to the correct dosage.

As soon as I upgrade my bench equipment wont have any more excuses for not being able to hit my A$$ with both hands shooting .......

All in All guess I'm in pretty good shape FOR THE SHAPE I'M IN.

 

Got the Go to resume Regular Programming this morning. Only thing now is I cant submerge my head in a pool or Hot tub for 3 weeks. Have an appointment with the Optometrist Jun 2 and if that is Ok will schedule the other eye.
