Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
I also bought yet another set of reading glasses, but stronger yet. That seems to be helping some, too. As freaked as I am about eye surgery (however many months down the road that'll be), by frustration with my declining vision is overruling that anxiety. I've always had excellent vision, and instead of a gradual decline it's all gone to shit in a year or so.

Shiver me timbers, ye scurvy dogs!
So my cataract is getting worse (and I'm still six weeks from my ophthalmologist appointment) and wearing reading glasses for too long is giving me a headache, party because my fucked eye thinks the lens is dirty. So I'm trying an experiment with an eyepatch to see if that will alleviate some of the problem. All in all, this really, really sucks.

Well at least his name is Luke.

Yeah, when you tell the story of how you got the scar no one needs to know that Luke is a cat.revbob wrote: ↑28 May 2019, 5:06pmWell at least his name is Luke.

Re: The Growing Old Kinda Sucks thread
Everyone tells me that cataract surgery is super quick and easy, but the idea of having my eye sliced is terrifying.
