We were up at 5:00 am and getting ready for the surgery.\u00a0 I watched YouTube, and it seems like it’s nothing.<\/p>\n
I discovered that around 80% of all Asians that move to America get cataracts.\u00a0 The remaining 20% usually buy chevrorets, rexus, or rincoln.\u00a0 Some even get rand lover.<\/p>\n
We hit the road at 7:00 am and arrived at 8:00 am; the surgery center was right across from the Newport Beach Elks Lodge\/\u00a0 We knew the area well.\u00a0 I was prepped for the surgery at 9:00 am and rolled in at 10:10 am sharp.<\/p>\n

The first step was the laser which scrambled the cataract and cut a precise slice in the eyeball.\u00a0 No feeling whatsoever, just Christmas lights twinkling; this took about 3-5 minutes.<\/p>\n
The doctor came in and said hello.\u00a0 I retorted, “Did you hear about the Eye Doctor who changed professions to become a comedian?\u00a0He made a spectacle of himself.”\u00a0 The last thing I heard was the doctor asking the nurse for a dull blade.<\/p>\n
Then I moved to the operating room, where the nice anesthesiologist worked his magic.\u00a0 I do not remember a thing, but ten minutes later, they rolled me out into the recovery area, where Dr. Mary awaited my arrival.\u00a0 I am so happy Dr. Mary drove me to the Elks as I was blotto and kept falling asleep!<\/p>\n

We are lucky to have each other; I got the better end of the deal!<\/p><\/div>\n
We were on the road to the Elks at 11:00 am, where I enjoyed a lovely lunch with Dr. Mary and Bob Z.<\/p>\n

The plastic eye shield keeps the eye incision safe while it heals.<\/p><\/div>\n
Whatever they gave me had me quite woozy, so after returning home, I took several small naps while Mary continued the battle of the boxes.<\/p>\n
We went to the front yard and put on the new table cover; now, it will be easy to sit in the chairs as each has its own cover.\u00a0 Mary watered our sunflowers, which are doing quite well and growing quickly!<\/p>\n

We have to keep the little sunflowers moist for the first two weeks.<\/p><\/div>\n
We had dinner, watched a movie, and then crashed around 8:30 pm as we had to get up at 5:00 am to return to the doctor’s office by 7:00 am, and he was in Newport Beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
