Hubby's daughter will be my ride to and from the surgeries.
I'm half thinking of pulling the right lens out of my glasses after the first surgery and attaching a little weight for balance.

I'll bet an optictian could put in a plain lens of appropriate weight.

I'm just afraid it would take two weeks to get the lens replaced.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I bet you could find an optician who could replace the lens in a day, especially with advance notice.

My eye doctor does have an optician section of his office.
edit: And I'm taking that week off for vacation/adjustment purposes.

For installation of a blank lens, you don't have to use the optician associated with your doctor, though they certainly would be a convenient choice if they will accomodate you in terms of same day service and reasonable price.
BYE, poor eyesight does have its lighter moments. I thought there was this big pop singer I'd never heard of called "Simul Al". Then I clicked on the music and realized I'd misread "Sheila E". But really "Simul Al" would be an awesome name for a pop singer.

Both my mom and dad got cataracts surgery, and they were over the moon at how much better they could see afterwards.

Ugh. I hate that nauseating macro that goes "Remember when we had a system that treated the mentally ill like people until Ronald Reagan blah blah..."(fear not, I still loathe the Gipper) but it always makes me go "Pray tell, which ten seconds was that?!" Just goes to prove that some of Ours love their bullshit as much as Theirs, imo, cause if you ask me, locking people away forever? Not really a humane solution, even if it's not really a human tragedy seen and smelled by Joan Public on the street.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Yeah... wearhousing people forever in squalor was no great shakes.
Not funding the group homes that were supposed to replace that, however, does fall squarely on Ronnie and the boys.

Of course it does. I'm just saying we've never really had a good mental health system. Just like with Social Security. I need the program, and in some ways, it works well(Which is really what haters hate the most)But it's not enough to say that...people say it provides dignity and independence(More than begging, less than about anything else.)
