Woke up this morning to about 8 inches of snow on the ground. Snowed most of the day and bitter cold. Emmett,Emma and Emilio are hunkered down nice and warm in their tanks, CHES come out tonight to give a little more added warmth through tonight. I know they will be fine under their covers with the CHEs tonight.
OK now for me. Yesterday got up at the crack of dawn for the long trip to Fort Carson in Colorado Springs to see the eye doctor there. The dr examined my eyes and said yep the cataract has to come off. This is where the fun of the trip began. He wanted to get as much as he could out of the way for preop as possible so we would not have to make so many trip to Evans hospital. He tried to get a measurement on my eye for the new lens and couldn't since the cataract is so dense. So he sent me down the hall for a sonogram on my eye for a measurement, to dense for that. So the put a cup on the sonogram and filled it with water to redo the sonogram. Now if you never had a sonogram of your eye the cup and Doppler rest directly on your eye and a cool stream of water over the eye allows for it to move with ease. Problem, they got it positioned and moved it a touch and I blinked popping the cup and Doppler out of my eye. It felt like a colony of spiders infested my eye lashes. My eye was numbed with drops so could not feel it on my eye itself but that thing against my lashes was weird. So they put it back in and get the measurement. I asked the tech if I was having twins :lol: and she said the size of the cataract was so bad I was having quadruplets :lol: . Dr came back in and I asked him when my due date was. I go back the 12th to meet with the anesthesiologist and to sign my eye over to the drs care. I don't have a time yet but surgery is scheduled for the 14th. I go back the 15th and 21st for a checkup then one more trip for a followup a month later. After we left the hospital I wanted to hit the base exchange to look around and met Santa Claus so we talked a bit. I had my picture made with him. I can now in all honesty say I got naughty with Santa at the px on Fort Carson in Colorado Springs and have the picture to prove it :shock: :lol: My hair is a mess after all the hoopla at the hospital so overlook it its soaking wet.
Note the gleam in Santas eyes being so naughty
