What a drag it is getting old..........

[sarettah]

Fuck fuck fuck.

2 weeks ago, routine eye exam, Doctor tells me I have a massive cataract, the kind that usually takes 10-15 years to develop. Thing is though, 3 years ago in my last full eye exam there was no sign of it.

So, we don't know what is going on but I have the kind of cataract that usually does not develop before the age of 60 and no, even though I am old I am still a few years short of 60.

On Friday at noon I go under the scalpel for 8-10 minutes (thats what they tell me) for a lens replacement (yeah yeah, they tell me how easy it is, "nothing to it"). I don't know about the rest of you but I have never had surgery so to me it is anything except "nothing to it". Worst part is that I will be awake and watching them do it. "just a little incision in the eye, then we suck out all the bad lens and just insert a new plastic lens, simple as pie". Put me under motherfuckers, I don't want to watch.

My ass.
