George,

  Plus, you look like an astronaut, and you have an all day hickey on
your face. :P

  Well, I got good news and bad news today.

  I don't have glaucoma...the eye pressures were between 11 and 15, which
is normal, and the visual acuity was 20/15, which is excellent.

  But, I need to have the right eye now done with Yag Laser Surgery. That
is normally done after cataract surgery...the left eye was done shortly
after the cataract surgery.

  It's impossible to drive at night, and I'm getting fog with the
bright lights (headlights or brake lights), at night, and during
the day. So, with the $300 co-pay required for it, as well as for
the EGD and colonoscopy (which I'm overdue for), I've resolved that
it's medically necessary for me to sell my car next week.

  I can get groceries and medications delivered...and I'll use Uber
only once every 2 weeks to go to the Post Office Box...and to what
few doctors appointments I have. For procedures where I have to be
sedated, that's harder...as they won't let you use any form of
public transportation...and all of my friends work during the day.

  But, it will suck being home except for 2 days a month, and then,
only going to the Post Office Box to get mail.

Daryl
