Cataract Surgery

Phillip came up to be with me for my cataract surgery. Buddy was so excited to see Phillip and Buddy wouldn't leave Phillip alone so I had to cage Phillip to keep the dog away from him.

On February 24th I had my cataract surgery on my right eye. I concealed a mini-cam in my shirt and it linked to Phillip's laptop while he waited in the waiting room. As I woke up from the surgery I could hear the surgery staff whispering and laughing. I wasn't sure what was going on but I took a picture with the mini-cam of then looking at me which is shown below.

After recovery Phillip came in and took a picture of the surgeon who looked a little perplexed as shown below.

When I looked at Phillip he seemed to be in shock but he didn't say anything. They released me and Phillip drove me home. During the drive I noticed Phillip kept looking at me but he didn't say anything. I heard him giggle a few times though.

When we got home I went into the bathroom to look at my eye and I almost passed out from what I saw. I called the surgery center immediately and they told me there was a mistake in the surgery order. Someone had made a typo in the order and the doctor interpreted it as a right eye relocation. Be prepared to see my face below:

Please don't laugh. This is an awful situation. The doctor said they can build some custom glasses that will adjust for the extreme astigmatism and I should be able to see OK. Another option is to relocate the left eye above the brow so there is a more symmetrical look to my face. I'm not sure yet how to proceed.

Valentines Day Trip to Tennessee

I decided to go and visit Debbie in Tennessee on Valentines day. Buddy and I stayed at the Best Western in McMinnville.

I had a nice King Size bed and you would think there would be plenty of room for me and Buddy. But somehow he seemed to hog the whole bed.

Bed Hog Buddy!

While visiting I took a few more photos shown below.

A new dog came on the property recently and Debbie has adopted it. She named it Big Brown or "BB" for short. BB is about Buddy's age and they got along great and played "Chase" and "Hide and Go Seek".

Sunday before I left I had an accident and fell down on my right knee. It was hurt pretty bad but today it feels better. It should be OK after a few more days.

It was great to see and visit with Debbie.

The Deer Again

The weather has been unusually cold here and there was a bazaar event that took place. I was on the water with the boat again and I saw some more deer swimming in the water. All of a sudden there was a severe winter storm and we got hit with a bunch of snow!

Before the Winter Storm

After The Winter Storm

Luckily, the storm ended, the sun came out, the snow melted and the deer were able to get to shore! I don't know what happened to the other two deer, they must have gotten lost!!
