Tomorrow is my last eye check up for my cataract surgeries

My right eye was done 2weeks ago n my left eye last Monday. Thanks god for Medicare..Original/actual Medicare as my financial responsibilities were just under 300$. Of course, they have different options but I chose the basic option and I’m just fine. If I had a job with very detailed work or if I was a professional golfer, I’d have options for that. I wore contacts for about 30 years n just relied on them n just didn’t realize how bad my cataracts had become. It was very easy n painless but the preparation was not fun. I had to give up my contacts for 3 weeks so my cheaters n a magnifying glass was the only way I could read and lots of eye drops to moisturize my eyes...before n after surgeries. Some lifting restrictions n basic common sense for caring for the eyes..no soap n water or rubbing the eyes..that’s kind of stuff. I can see like I did when I was young..clean n clean letters n objects..wonderful! If you’re putting off having this done..don’t. It’s the best thing I’ve done for myself in a long time..a Christmas miracle ! Take care of your eyes..we only get one set of em. 🙋?♀️

Merry Christmas 🎄 just after midnight n the pyromaniacs are at it

My kitty, Ruby, is by my side n for those who know me.. I don’t know how to transfer sites as I’m on an old iPad but. Youtubeoholynightjenniferhudson is what I put in n I’m not a religious person, usually, but.. being Christmas, I do get tender hearted with a few things. This one is just one of the best I’ve heard. I hope you can forgive my lack of tech but it’s worth a look. Merry Christmas my DU Friends

For my cat lovers DU Friends

After my Angie passed, I went to the shelter and picked a sleeping kitty I named Ruby. She was a bigger and younger kitty and now at about 4 years old, I’m about to have a series of eye surgeries n I’m off to the vet tomorrow and thinking of asking her to re home Ruby. I do not want to go back to the shelter.. I know what happens. She’s the sweetest cat but I fear that I’m not making her happy..I live in a condo n she does not get enough stimulation with other people or space. I’m in pain about doing this.. I love her but I don’t think I’m giving her what she needs to be a happy cat.what is the best option for her w/o being selfish? I don’t want to make an emotional decision only what’s right for her.

For all my DU caregivers

The saying goes..take care of your first. Please believe that. My very good friend for over 40 years took care of her stroke survivor mom for 11 years or so. She gulped down fast food to make appointments..just really put her life on hold. She’s now a survivor herself.. cancer of the saliva glands in her throat. No smoking..no drinking.. just nothing. A tumor on her tongue. Ever heard of that? She dedicated her life to care for her mom and now this. Take good care of yourself..we hear that but please do. Don’t mean to be a pissy on Thanksgiving..be thankful..I am that this precious friend of mine is gonna be ok but w/o all the fanfare. She deserves so much better. So do you, caregivers. Don’t neglect the most important person..YOU

Lawrence O'Donnell on MSNBC.. with all the talking heads ..

I’ve waited for an experienced n no drama point of view from him n his guests. There are a few good hosts on that channel but I somehow gravitate to his segments/show. He’s on later at night so he has the time to get facts n always compares the issue w/ history. Like Rachel. I’m not gonna get excited or fret.. there’s nothing we can do but arm chair debate. Having said that.. I’m learning a lot about the law n how the Constitution is our DNA.. if I can make some kind of relevance. I think we’re gonna be just fine.. not even tfg n his cult can shake us n evade our laws n justice. All this is just my opinion

Went to see TILL this afternoon

Haven’t been to the movies since before Covid but I wanted to go..went by myself as I like the movies based on true events. It was a tad long but this had to be told n I thought the emotion of this story came thru like I was there witnessing it. I recommend it
