One More Rite of Passage Into Old Age

So. Both eyes are free of cataracts now. What can I say? Well, for one thing, thank you, God, for doctors who figured out the surgery in the first place that allows me to keep my sight. I have always heard that the question is not if you get cataracts, but when you get cataracts, because if you live long enough, you will indeed grow cataracts. So I appreciate the fact that I have been around long enough to have grown the little darlins’.

But since I was such a good patient, I was rewarded with a meal at the Outback after each surgery, even with that lovely hair and stylish outfit.

Not a bad deal, I must say.
