OT Cataracts ??!!??

I can't believe it, but I have to have cataract surgery
on my right eye. ****, I'm only 49, I like to fell out
of the chair when he told me.

So some guy is gonna rip out a piece of the natural
born flesh *in my eye* and replace it with a man made
substitute. Ain't that a ****in' hoot.

This will require massive amounts of post-surgical
Budweiser. Just a heads up for those of you who might
want to load up your portfolios with Anheuser Busch
stock. ;-)

This is probably due to consumption of cows **** for many years. Maybe
post-surgery you should switch brands.

Good luck, Ken. When is the surgery scheduled?

Ah, yes, you've been afflicted with the dreaded Anheuser Syndrome...

Yeesh. You'd think that a Deadhead wouldn't have problems with pressure in
his eyes...

Oh, wait... that's glaucoma, not cataracts.

;-)

Good luck. Make sure that it's you and not the doc that's enjoying the
Budweiser. (oxymoron noted ;-) )

Good luck with it. Beware, though-- people can get real uncomfortable if
the correction is very different between the two eyes, and your new right
eye will not need correction (at least for distance). If you have a strong
left eye correction, you might want to ask your doc about it.

Yep, Tempus fugit, ****s it as well!

Been there, done that. Dental appointments usually result in more
pain. Big difference is you have to have your sweeting drive you home.
You can stop for coffee which is not a good option after getting your
teeth worked on.
The plastic lens is no biggie. After getting a $15,000 rubber band
around my eye I figured I could trust them with a plastic .lens.

Thanks Tim. I have to pick a surgeon first, I'm soliciting
opinions from friends whose parents have had cataract
surgery as none of my friends are old enough to have had
it themselves. I also need to choose an IOL (intraocular
lens) to replace the original equipment. I'm just getting
into this but there are a lot of fancy new replacement
lenses available. I'm lookin for one that has the Xray
trout seeking feature. ;-)

Piece of cake; don't worry about it. You're in and out of the
hospital in an hour and a half. Wait until you see colors out of your
good eye (the one with the new lens). You will be amazed. I had my
right eye done two years ago, and the left eye will be done next year.

Oh, yeah, forgot....... this is a sign of aging. Your dick will fall
off next if you don't switch from Bud to a more palatable beer.

Good luck with the surgery.
