Mine covered $2k for "laser eye surgery", I think? I had to convince them it was laser eye surgery under their definition. But since it was the only kind I as eligible for...
Don't you have an elsewhere to be?

Mom is here today. So, the plan is to go to volunteer day at the library bookstore while ltc naps this afternoon. I desperately need some adult interaction without her.

my right eye is a distance and the left a close-up
I was given that option with my surgery, because they weren't sure how much correction I'd need for close-up. But I did a test run with two different contact lenses, and it was horrible. There was always a sense of something being out of focus, and one of my great joys is being able to look out at the landscape and see it in focus. I only need readers for small print, and if I have a bright light I don't need them then.

Sean, much health-ma to your mom. My dad had A-fib 7 years ago, and after they stabilized him, they inserted a pacemaker/defibrillator right into him. He's still going at 88.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Health~ma for your mom, Sean.
I should look at the implantable contact lens surgery. Given that my mom just had cataract surgery, and my maternal grandmother & great-grandmother both had cataracts, it's a fairly sure bet that I'll have them.

It doesn't do anything for the cataracts though--I still have my original lenses, and could totally get cataracts when I'm older.

Oh. Darn. Still, no contacts (or glasses) would be a bonus. Maybe in a few years.

The Facebook "Here are your memories!" list is rolling around to that time two years ago. Maybe I shouldn't read them. But hiding from it doesn't make it hurt less.
