They tell me I can have cataract surgery too, but Jesus. They’ll be scraping MY EYES with LASERS. This just can’t be a good idea. And I can’t even see any cataracts on my eyes. I can see my dog’s cataracts, but not mine.

Now I can definitely smell piss, Sister, because you’re taking it.

Romeo – Christ. Keep me posted.

Bevitron – I guess we’re both a little conflicted. No Soma for you without me!

Stephanie – As Derek and Clive would say, We’re not seaworthy.

Dj – I like your thinking on this! My doctors are young and cute, but they’re women who don’t seem impressed by my underwear.

Suspended – You are a sage and a poet, and I hope everyone is heeding your advice.

Kellie – Ditto.

The cataract thing is a picnic in the park, according to my dad. He did both eyes, and no longer needs glasses, but needs sunglasses more, because of the lack of filter. He said colors are different and everything.
He is also in the dermo all the time having things cut out and burned off.
And I know I am not far behind.
Already have had uterus out, and now need surgery on both feet for bone spurs and extra cartilage in bith big toe joints. I worked on my feet my whole life, in heels. Like a prostitute, selling cosmetics.
I looked good, but boy am I paying for that shit now.
And the skin trauma is getting me too. A couple of things removed, and a weird other one needing looking at.
And like you, I dont know if I care. I kind of feel like-eh, whatever. If something hurts, or is an immediate irritant, I deal. Otherwise. Meh.
I have no desire to live to an old age, in a nursing home, with no one to visit. I have seen that play out. No thanks.
We are just dealing with what we can.
Stick around for a while with me.
I wish you lived closer.

It’s all part of the cycle…shipwrecks have a breathtaking charm.

As long as you don’t drool when you eat and don’t smell of piss, it’s all good.

Sister, I hear your pain and frustration…but, we all need maintenance…I am so irradiated now I probably glow in the dark! Cataracts? Gone and I can see 20/20 without contacts. Lung cancer? Check! Been there done that. Spinal fusion? Check, but can do everything better then before. All free passes for a few weeks of quality pain killers and daytime tv. I don’t care about or fear dying either, I don’t want to be 80 years old, I don’t want to be creaky, bitchy and constantly at the dr. Office.. So, to make things more palatable I have started asking the dr.’s ages, I look online to make sure they are under 50, cute and charming or I won’t go. Put on sexy undies to throw their game. Cute and young really make a difference!

Ok, so my Hubs sez; “You’re sailing along on the sea and all’s well…
till parts start falling off and you notice you’re a shipwreck!”

I need one of those shitty bones appointments, myself. And the gyno appointment, and the cholesterol thing, and the colonoscopy ream-out, and teeth, and my cataract and floater-riddled eyeballs….sheesh. Instead I keep getting pulmonary CT scans, and echocardiograms, and ventilation/perfusion tests. My lungs keep me attached to doctors but I don’t know squat about the other guts and muscles and nerves and stuff.

When I was in the ambulance, riding out to the hospital earlier this year, I had a few moments where if I could’ve gotten enough breath to speak up I thought about telling them to turn this fucker around, take me home, and let me die. Then I got there and I was hysterical and yelling at the poor nurses and even accusing one of trying to kill me because she was having trouble getting my IV going. (I did apologize.) But, what the hell? Do I want to shit, or get off the pot? I kind of know how you feel, Sister Wolf.

I’m so glad it’s looking like you’re healthy, please stay that way. Me, I want a big bottle of Soma and a nice, dark bedroom.

The internet says: put some ointment on it, get surgery in case of tissue death. I mean, it’s great that you can get your cataracts removed but I think most medical options come down to apply ointment/physically remove defective area.

Also: there’s like only 600 people where I live. I don’t want to get a reputation in town as the guy with bug bites on his junk. Although the nickname “Bugbite Willy” amuses me.

Romeo – Don’t they have an Urgent Care clinic? Or, CVS and Target stores have Nurses, some of them, who will diagnose and prescribe! God damn you.

Suebob – “Poor quality”????? Did you tell him to stop gum-shaming?? Bastard.
