The longer I live the more medical savvy I become. As Carol and I, and our friends, live beyond our allotted "three score and ten" we find the medical community performs wonders to keep us going, seeing and hearing. Our next door neighbor is just returning home
from open heart surgery, surviving a heart attack that would have meant death 20 years ago.
So we as seniors relate and commensurate with each other we learn about medical procedures secondhand. So much so that I could understand our grandson Tyson asking a couple of years ago, "Grandpa how come you and your friends seem to talk so much about medical stuff? Because we are survivors-that's why. :-)
Which brings me to the title above. After 60 some years of wearing eyeglasses of increasing strength and styles, I am typing this without glasses. I had my second cataract operation on my left eye yesterday and the lenses in my eyeglasses now are more of a hindurance than a help. Amazing. They are still the color hazel however, so my drivers license is still good. Or is it? It states on the back:
Restrictions: corrective eyeglasses!!

Bob- Jann here (Leahs Mom) So glad to hear your eye surgeries went well! Will you have to have your glasses at all now? What a blessing and change! We will probably see you this weekend when we visit the Grands again!
What great news Dad. So glad yours went a lot smoother than Moms did. Will you ever have to wear your glasses again? Every once and awhile I think about the laser surgery but it never seems worth the money and risk. As I recall, 'four eyes' was your nickname in high school...( :
Hi Jann and Marla too. I may have to have reading glasses, but at least I can do well as it is. It takes another month before they can really give a presciption.
see you this weekend Jann
You keep getting better with age!!
