My better half is having cataract surgery, first eye tomorrow, other one in two weeks so, we're traveling to the bid city today.
Its amazing how much cataract surgery has changed and improved. When I first heard of it, a gazillion years ago, the patient would have to lay on their back all day with sandbags holding their head in place.
Now, its a quick out patient procedure and we think we have a very competent surgeon.
One minus is that although insurance/Medicare pays more under ObamaCare than before, there is still out of pocket to be paid. Worth it though. What is more valuable than your eyesight? I read a poll where people said the only thing more important to them is their life. I agree.
Have a nice day, y'all.
