Ah, I'm so sorry! I hope it goes well. My stepmom has glaucoma, and has also had cataract surgeries. Some seemed easy while others, not so much. I hope you get the least invasive one with the fastest recovery time.

I am reading that the reason mustard works for charley horses is it contains a lot of acetic acid. Very interesting! Glad it worked.

I'm trying not to think of the actual operation. Just about the improvement afterwards. :-)

Hmmm! Learn something new everyday.

I'm glad that Pete and Kathy are okay.

My trick for charlie horses in my leg is to pull up on the big toe. I never heard of the mustard fix. I would be in too much pain to head to the kitchen to get some.

Sorry about the need for cataract surgery. My doc told me it's bound to happen as we age. R had the surgery done a few years ago.

Maybe keep a packet by the bedside?

I kinda knew cataracts were inevitable but I still hoped I might magically be immune.

I had cataract surgery on both eyes - about a year part. The new lenses are set for distance vision so I don't have to wear glasses I got progressive lens on my glasses so I can see distance and read with them - and actually wear them all the time - the middle part works well for computer screen. I also got some over the counter glasses to match the reading prescription and use them occasionally for reading. When playing the piano, progressive lens don't work so I got some OTC glasses with the middle level.

Good for you to choose hiking over working. For me anyway, if I'm feeling the need to get out of the house, especially on foot, it's because I need to work through something. Mentally. It usually gives me positive results.

Awesome photo!

I don't know, but i just love hiking alone with Rainy. Being in the woods. Passing through the trees all around. Seems magical. I do love going with my hiking friends too but alone is different.
