Good morning, Friends.
What a week...My daughter, Crystal had surgery on her left eye last Monday and will be having the second surgery (cataract) on January 22. I also will be having cataract surgery on my right eye on January 22nd. lol...we didn't plan it this way but as she said, "Cool Mom! We'll both be having bionic eye surgeries on the same day!" She lives close to Houston and I'm close to Waco, Texas.
If you've had cataract surgery before, this next part may be boring...just keep scrolling.
The testing...forms...measurements...medications...web sites to create...took me almost all day to complete yesterday! I was rattled by bedtime! Didn't sleep well. The actual surgery will be done at a surgical clinic, not a hospital. They give you meds to sleep...procedure takes about 10 minutes then you need time to wake up. About an hour and a half, all total. No eye patches...you just get up and go home. Sounds good to me! The hardest part of it all is taking all the eyedrops. Then, the next day, you go back into the office for them to look at the eye. After we left the clinic, I looked into the black bag they give to cataract patients...all that was in it were the glasses... :o) No plastic patches...tapes...just the glasses. Yeah!
The amount of time we waited was 2 1/2 hours...!! Beginning to end. So glad to get out of there...
One day, I made some hamburger and cheddar sliders...turned out good!
Another day, we ate breakfast out at a place called The Toasted Yolk in downtown Waco. It was good...they served you more than you could eat at one sitting but there again...pricy.
Notice they spelled Avocado wrong...Lolol...yep, only me!
And coffee? $3.69?? Each...smh (shaking my head)
Larry's Burrito plate...
I thought I ordered just one of these things...but two showed up! They're called a "Southern Fried Arnold".... Had to get a doggy-bag to take home.
Coffee was pretty good...but it's not Larry's. He roasts our coffee beans here at home...and the coffee is so smooth!
When microwaving bacon on a plate, pull the middles up...that makes for a no mess clean-up later on! Grease doesn't drip off the sides of the plate.
Tim, our SIL and Sloane's "Pops", showing her the ropes of dirt biking! lol
He said she loved it... Taken pre-Christmas time while it was still in the 80's.
Larry made this cross on his laser...I love it. Think I'm going to stain it.
Well...guess that's going to be it for me. Hope you all are doing well and staying warm/cool wherever you are.
So, until next time...
