I kept my license for several years after I retired for "just in case." Since I gave it up, I couldn't get a license without completing a remedial course.

I dislike how some professions are treated... 99% of the people don't have their degree "revoked" or expire, just because they worked in a different field for a while....

I have heard that from everyone I know that has had the surgery. Everything looks brighter. It seems depending on the eye condition readers may still be needed or you can choose to wear glasses.

Almost everyone has some accommodation loss after cataracts surgery. There are special lenses that can be implanted to help with this. Unfortunately, I was not a candidate for them. My ophthalmologist already had to order special lenses due to my prescription need.

Good Morning Lilianna.
I haven't gone to sleep yet but I just took my Lybalvi pill, so it's lights out now

Started this am.

Had a little scare with parents acct. My bank said the account check was written is closed so I had to go to their bank and check it out. It wasn't. I also looked at all transactions back to june .... all clear.... So my bank is an idiot. Both accounts secured

You're a good daughter!

Quick update…this is literally the first chance I’ve had since the last.

After momma’s fall, she was just in constant pain. The ER doc said if she wasn’t getting better 3-4 days bring her back. We have to bring her to the ER due to her pacemaker and overall heart condition. So by day two, she called Sunday morning and said she couldn’t take it and to come pick her up. I get there and my son and I tried to get her out of her chair and she couldn’t do it. Called the pro’s and punted to EMS…that guarantees she gets a room (not a sure thing in our overpopulated town) and we got her right in. CT scan was negative again, thank heavens, and they determined that it was probably muscle spasms but her pain was through the roof.

So got her home Monday and settled. Hopefully she’s learned her lesson and will stay down till at least these meds are done. Still haven’t heard from the oncologist yet, so not sure when her radiation treatments start. Long road ahead for sure.

For all she’s been through she is good spirits. That’s worth its weight in gold.

I felt comfortable enough to leave her in the good hands of the rest of the family so I went to work. Out in Cali wine country so the MZ is more grapes!

It's good you called EMS for transport. It makes a HUGE difference in getting roomed right away vs waiting for hours in the ED waiting room.

Thanks for this. On top of everything else. My mother was diagnosed the week before her procedure with Age Related MD…2025 had not been good to her…

Poor thing! I'm so sorry!

That's a LOT of blackberries!

 

[Lilianna23]

Yeah.


h000rz!!!


Fuck 'em.


And fuck a whole lot of what went on today. Wat may have to channel Bo . . . .

Are you gonna need bail?

 

[Lilianna23]

LMAO remembering following my daughter and 3 grandkids down a state Hwy...
She slammed on the brakes and they all jumped out like a Chinese fire drill, but with bowls in hand, ran over to some blackberry bushes, filled their bowls and we hauled ass. It was like a "blackberry flashmob!"
She sent me home with fresh blackberry jam that evening!

"Blackberry flashmob!"

I admit - I had to look this one up
I thought the red was blood
Made me think "what's hiding in there?"

Oh, yeah! The pillow score!

Beautiful! How is your trip?

 

[Lilianna23]

Anywhere you can get 'em, huh?

Don't laugh! You might be surprised where IVs get started! If we can't find a vein in a conventional spot, we'll search out (ahem!) other areas until we can get a central line placed.

Good evening/night

I'm sorry I missed the whole day of conversations. It's been a busy day and I'm just getting online now. It's almost time for bed, but I've still got a few hours to go so,...

I missed yesterday, too, RJ. Catching up now.

 

[Lilianna23]

I will be in Cooper Landing tomorrow evening and am hoping for a light show before bed or on Saturday morning before fishing

Post some pics if you see some!

 

[Lilianna23]

Good morning early risers and insomniacs. I do hope you got some sleep.

Nothing much to say this morning. No granddaughter today as she ran a fever yesterday. So I’m going to bake a coffee cake this morning with red and black raspberries.

I hope your granddaughter is feeling better soon!

 

[Lilianna23]

Happy Friday!!! Coffee is on. Gathering stuff to go back to the house because Friday. Mostly, it ain't yesterday. That was weird and not in a good way.

Uh, oh. Sounds ominous.

 

[Lilianna23]

We can do a paddle steamer or an actual sailing schooner from the 1800s...

Sorry I am saying wrong boat terms

I think the name of the ship is Lettie G Howard

Boat will know the right ones!

 

[Lilianna23]

I need to get them out of our hedges I have some of last years and they will go into whisky

You make whiskey out of blackberries??

 

[Lilianna23]

Her she is out on the lake

That looks like a fun adventure!

 

[Lilianna23]

No desktop for the next hour is driving me nuts.
Mad props to all of you using phones & tablets for Lit

What happened to your computer?

 

[Lilianna23]

Once a tanker, always a tanker.

I got the skidsteer all hung up on a giant log today. Prolly 20” in diameter. It lurched to the right… the left track was in the air spinning and the skidsteer was at abt a 25° angle. A little dangerous…

Fuck! I’m in the middle of the woods by myself. Shoulda taken a picture.

Army training kicked in. Stuff logs under the left track so it can get gription. I had my chain saw with me. Cut some logs to put under the left track. (I also used the front end loader to push myself up and back.

And it worked!

Who said being a tanker had no transferable skills to civilian life?

Got a lot of trail cut today. Had a stubborn spot with a lot of down logs.. maybe only got 30-40 Ft done in two hours, but then I broke out into a more open area.

I should have that trail done tomorrow.

Glad you figured it out, W! Army training taught you how to think your way out of a problem!

 

[Lilianna23]

A busy day.... presque isle beach.. swimming at the pool and a sunset dinner cruise

Sounds like a great trip!

Boat will know the right ones!

I'm so indecisive that my knee-jerk reaction was "Do both!"
