Looks As Though We're Here For A While

Our Temporary Home Away From Home

We've been in Meridian, MS for about a month so Jerry could have her Cataract surgery and recover from it. The Doctor gave her a clear report.

Now I'll have my Cataract surgery on the 13Th and then the 20Th and will have to be here for about 3 to 4 weeks for a follow up. I hope I'm as lucky with the surgery as Jerry was, she has 20/20 in both eyes.

She went to the Commissary the other day and it took her about 3 hours to do her shopping. What took her so long was that she could easily read all the labels which she couldn't do before. She had a ball reading all the labels.

Smokey had surgery to remove kidney stones from his bladder before we left Montgomery. He managed to open one of the areas where they made the incision and we had to take him to a Vet here in Meridian to have it closed properly. The Vet put a collar around his neck to prevent him from opening it again. Doesn't he look cute?

Successful Surgery

Jerry had Cataract surgery on both eyes and she had her last check up yesterday. The Doctor told her she had 20/20 in both eyes and that she could get rid of her "seeing eye dog" all she might need would be a pair of "over the counter" 1.25 reading glasses for small print in newspaper or magazines.

She is amazed at how well she can see and also how clear everything is now. I'm so happy for her and now maybe she can read the small print on the road atlas and help me navigate on our trips.

On October 13 it's my turn to have Cataract surgery and I only hope I do as well as Jerry did. We'll keep you posted on my progress.
