.. As if I don’t have enough of those already, with my myriad of journals, note pads, and slips of paper everywhere. Now, I’m doing it on the Net!! WooHoo!!!

.. I went to another eye specialist yesterday. Someone other than the one doing the cataract surgery on my “ancient” eyes. And I put myself thru heck an’ high water worrying about THAT and it turns out the surgery was nuttin to fret about. whew, whatta relief….
.. Wha’? Oh right, the other specialist. Bing! I need laser treatments because my diabetes (Type 1, 29 years) has done damage to my eyes. The doctor said that he saw blood in both my eyes. Thus, I need ‘em zapped to “stay away from legal blindness”.
.. Lemme tell ya, the doctor sure didn’t paint a pretty picture about laser treatment, saying that it won’t be the nicest thing I’ve ever experienced. He went so far as to start describing all the pitfalls of laser surgery… blindness, partial or full, one eye or both… the irritation and pain afterwards… the fact that the treatment might not even fix whatever problem there is.
.. The doctor for the cataracts painted a rosy picture for the job to be done, and me? I put myself thru the loop worrying about it. For not having faith to trust in the pro.
.. The doctor for the laser scares the bejeepers outa me about the job to be done, and me?

AAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

.. And there you have it. I was going to get a second opinion, but the first one has me up in such a tizz, I say fuhgeddaboudit. I’ve got 4 sessions sched’ed in the next 4 weeks.
.. I just wish spring was here and then I could go catfishing. Even if I was blind as a baseball bat. sigh……………….
