Day 1491

I got up about 8 today.  Things went pretty well last night.  It took me a little while to get to sleep because I'd slept half the day.  I woke up about 3 because the shield had slipped off my eye.  When I opened my eye I couldn't see anything, just blackness.  I went into the bathroom and turned on a light.  Then I could see.  The pupil had contracted and wouldn't expand.

Wen I got up vision in that eye was pretty fuzzy.  The floaters are big and annoying.  Vision improved during the day.  I wear my regular glasses.  The "hybrid" glasses don't work because my brain can't deal with each eye claiming an object is a different size.  I did a little test about 1.  At 100 yds my left eye definitely sees better than my right one with contacts.

Devon has been walking around crying for most of yesterday and today.  He acts like he's a little disoriented.  Ellen made an appointment for him for tomorrow.  Neither cat is eating much.

Most of the day was spent surfing.  John and Melissa came over to talk about noon.  At 2 they left for shopping and we left for the doctor.  When we got to there tey told me we were at the wrong place (they told me this was the place on my first visit).  They told me to go to "Balcone".  I asked if that was the second place I'd gone and they said yes.  Of course traffic sucked going north, but we made it in time.  That's when the second place said "no, you need to go to a third place".  We made it to the third place just at my appointment time.  I was not a happy camper.

We ended up waiting for quite awhile before they called me.  The nurse checked my eyesight and asked some questions.  Then I waited in another room for quite awhile for the doctor.  He told me that everything looked good.  I can shoot in 4 days.  He said he'd schedule the second surgery in a week.

Driving home sucked.  We were on loop one north of 45th.  Mopac was a parking lot for there across the river.  We ended up taking back roads from there down to the Red Bud crossing.  We drove through one neighborhood with some amazing expensive homes.  We drove some more back roads and ended up getting on Mopac at Barton Creek.  It was jammed up, but moving.  It cleared up until 290 and then jammed up again.  We got off at William Cannon.

We met John and Melissa for dinner at Cypress.  We were hungry because we hadn't had lunch.  Of course the food was good.  They insisted on buying.  After dinner we stopped at the post office.

When we got home we fed the pets.  Ellen watched chick flicks and I surfed.
