May Catch-Up Time

Tuesday, May 17, 2011

I went to the downtown eye center this morning to get my eye measured for the cataract surgery I am scheduled to have next month. Sis drove me there and back. I asked the technician who was doing the measurements what size my cataract is and she said it is a 3. Another friend had told me her ophthalmologist said they range from a scale of 1 to 4 and when they get to a 4, there isn’t much that can be done to help the vision. So I definitely don’t want to put it off any longer. I also got a kit from them that contains dark glasses, shields and gauze to protect the eye after the surgery.

It was after 11 am when we got back, so we had lunch with Sis’s craft group; then I went back to the office for the afternoon.

Sis talked to the veterinary office staff and Precious had 8 teeth pulled, as well as a lot of other things. It was expensive. The itemized list was a 2-page print-out. I picked her up after 4 pm. She has three bottles of medicine to take and it is hard to give them to her, as she doesn’t want to eat or drink.

Later we went to Wal-Mart and I picked up my blood pressure prescription, left the prescription for the eye drops I will need to take for three days prior to my cataract surgery; and did a little shopping.

Precious hasn’t eaten or drank anything for three days so Sis took her to the veterinarian this morning. He checked her did blood work and said her mouth is a mess and she needs some teeth pulled and others cleaned. He kept her overnight to do all that.
