Fuck me! Cataract surgery. Both eyes. Sonuvabitch.

[ohiosmith]

Needed to replace the lenses damaged from boxing as a kid and an auto accident 30 years ago. FUCK!

[racaulk]

1. So sorry to hear that, ohiosmith.

I hope your surgery goes well and that your recovery is speedy. Best of luck. :hug:

[ohiosmith]

7. Thank you.

[Midlodemocrat]

2. It's not a big deal anymore.

In and out in about 30 minutes. They'll give you Versed, you won't remember/feel a thing.

[ohiosmith]

4. That's easy for you to say. Sitting there covered with Chicken Pot Pie crumbs.

[Midlodemocrat]

12. LOL. I know. I would be freaking out, too, but I took my

dad for his and he was fine. No pain that a little Tylenol didn't take care of.

:hug:

[ohiosmith]

15. So you're saying I'm old enough to be your father?

[Midlodemocrat]

24. Apparently. But he's dead.

:P

[ohiosmith]

25. So, you're saying I'm old enough to be dead?

[Midlodemocrat]

26. Well, I sure am.

:rofl:

[ohiosmith]

27. Maybe I should save the co-pay and curl up somewhere and, ...just,...

die.

[MissMillie]

3. from what I understand

it's probably the easiest of surgeries to endure.

Nonetheless, I'm sorry you'll be inconvenienced.

[Shine]

5. Sorry, buddy. It's a pretty standard procedure, these days, for what it's worth

:hug: Get an experienced doctor and you'll be fine. The recuperation is fairly easy, from what I've heard. The eyes heal very quickly.

Take care! :hi:

[ohiosmith]

10. The guy I went to has a husqvarna standing in the corner of his examination room.

Think he knows what he's doing? Should I be concerned?

[Shine]

11. WTF is a "husqvarna" ????

:shrug:

[ohiosmith]

13. :

[MrCoffee]

16. i thought you meant the motorcycle.

[ohiosmith]

17. A motorcycle in an eye doctor's office? Get real.

[MrCoffee]

19. this is exactly the kind of disrespect that i will not tolerate.

[ohiosmith]

20. Sorry. What kind of disrespect do you find tolerable?

[Midlodemocrat]

28. That thread was a classic.

Search the lounge for the thread on FET on cigarettes. :rofl:

[Shine]

18. YIKES!!!!

:scared:


yes, I'd be concerned, if I were you. :D

[MrCoffee]

6. uh-huh. "boxing" as a kid...

if you were "boxing" it, you're lucky it didn't fall off.





sorry about the whole double cataract surgery thing.

[ohiosmith]

9. Didn't fall off. But may be down for the count.

[amitten]

8. Sorry to hear that. But I don't see why I have to fuck you.

:P

Seriously, I'm sorry. Hope it goes well and makes your life better.

[ohiosmith]

14. Sympathy?

[amitten]

23. Well, it's not unheard of... n/t

[Deep13]

21. "Fuck me! Cataract surgery."

Actually, that is not how the surgery is performed.

[ohiosmith]

22. Then I've been misinformed.

[MrCoffee]

29. This will make you feel better.

[ohiosmith]

30. You know, a special place is being prepared for you in hell at this very moment.

[MrCoffee]

31. that's fine. hell's got all the good bands anyway.

[ashling]

32. I'm probably going to need cataract surgery

sooner or later. I just hope I have insurance by then.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

33. As long as your eyes are ready

in time to witness Michigan beat the pants off the little nuts (you call them Buckeyes) it's all good!
:toast:
A dyedintheWolverinefan! :)

[ThomCat]

34. Wow. I'm very sorry.

The idea of eye surgery scares me. :(

I hope it's far better and easier than I imagine. :hug:

[MonkeyFunk]

35. My Dad

just had cataract surgery on both eyes, but about 10 days apart.

He was home in two hours, no pain, and was seeing fine in a day.

In fact, at age 79, he now no longer needs glasses for the first time in half a century.
