Thanks all. Hi Sparky! I have the consult lined up for the 19th. Since the doctor said the cataract is coloring things brown, everything looks like I am looking through brown sunglasses. I am so easily influenced. I've gone through it with my mother and siblings so the drops schedule won't be a surprise. I just want it done asap as I know I am not seeing the way I used to. I want to see the moon details! And the bodies jogging on the beach!
The DEXA today should give a clue on how these old bones are doing. They scheduled my follow-up extensive breast scan for January 22nd so obviously not too worried. I'll probably ask them to put me on a waitlist. I just want to put a bunch of checkmarks on my list.
My grandmother had cataract surgery in the 70s, my mom had it in the early 2000s, and my sister will probably have it in 2025. It’s definitely a procedure that the medical establishment has down well.
Now that I’m in a new place, with new insurance, I need to find new a new doctor. I’d just found myself a new one in NC, after my awesome doctor of 20+ years retired. I mean, being able to get regular medical care is a privilege and all. But the process of setting it up is tedious. “Hello. Is Dr. Whatsit taking new patients? I need to set up my annual fat shaming and get a referral for a boob squeeze. Ta ever so.”
Captain Crunch purely for number slutting purposes.
Kudos for the numberslut. Warms my heart.
Scene - online work meeting, working with another department to complete a spreadsheet with info they need from our department.
Me- going to documents to find the info and copy/pasting it in shared/collab document they have onscreen in the meeting.
My boss - “oh I’ve opened the next one we need.” Starts reading out the info.
Me- “do you have the shared document open? I’m cutting and pasting, I’m not typing from dictation.” Knowing full well she is confused by sharepoint and teams.
Boss- oh no, I don’t.
Me- proceeds to copy/paste the next four things needed, trying not to roll eyes.
My boss is sick and I wish she’d just bow out of these meetings. I’m tired and my frustrations are too close to the surface.
In ugh holiday news, Brendon is going to LA for a basketball tournament, on December 26th. This wouldn't be a big deal, and I would have joined him, but my son and his GF arrive in Florida on December 25th. So I will be doing all the holiday stuff with the kids without dad. He will still be in LA for his birthday on the 28th. Sigh. I'm like, okay with it, but would probably have changed the kids' visit schedule if I had known earlier.
How can one person be so extravagant and boring at the same time?
Me to the family member who just put an $80 navy blue doormat on their elfster wishlist. The hell you say.
Trying to imagine what could make a doormat be worth $80 and not coming up with anything. Secretly a trap door? Seems like that would be pricier.
I need cataract surgery on the right eye
Anecdotally my mom had hers done and it was easy peasy with quick results. She was very pleased back in 2017. If I need it, I'm going to get past the scared and see better. I did think I was seeing floaters once but it was just a spider on its web that was MUCH closer than I thought.
