Back to work

[BIGNASTY]

It feels good to be back to home again. Got up to fix coffee and looked outside it was snowing. Temp's are a high of 30 and a low of 20. Perfect for a day of plowing snow. Went to the barn to wake up the Union Slackers feed them and get them ready to plow. Got the wife POed she has gotten lazy the past few weeks put my SUPER COLD hands on her ? and she said are you CRAZY!!!!!! 3:30 AM GO TO BED. AHHHH BACK TO NORMAL. She said you were NEVER NORMAL :-laf Thanks for all the good thoughts and well wishes the past weeks

Big,



You can keep the snow as far as I'm concerned (I lived in central Ohio for 22 years), but glad to hear you're back home. I'm sure that it beats the heck out of hospitals. Be careful with the new hardware until you get through the break-in period! :-laf

Glad to see that you are alright and back home now.

Could you please ship some of the cold weather and snow down to the Chicago Il area. It's not winter with out snow and cold weather.

Thanks

Thanks Rusty



I have never given things much of a break-in period but will take your advice. As far as the snow let it snow let it snow. I dont have to go anywhere in it and if it gets that bad I just go inside and pick on the guitar and howl until the wife has had enough of that and then find something else to pester her with :-laf Actually this horse drawn snow plow works very well . I'm going to finish breakfast and do the BIL/FIL s drive and parking area.



AND YOUR RITE THERE AIN'T NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Take it slow on your BOMBed body... keep the settings low until you get used to the power! I just got a BOMBed eye (cataracts), can't wait for the other one. Enjoy the plow.

Have you already had the cataract operation ? If not, let us know how it goes. I think I will probably have to have an eye done some time in the next year. The people that I know that have had the operation say they can see better than they ever did. Friend of mine wore glasses all of his live. After getting the new lenses, he only needs glasses for reading.

I had one done this week, the other will be on Jan 3. Those critters (cataracts) are supposed to be slow growing, not mine. I was told I had the beginnings about a year and a half ago. Now, I needed the biggest letters on the chart, with glasses. . I got the Toric lens which is supposed to just require reading glasses when totally healed. I can't believe how blind I actually was until now! The OME eye sees blurry and kind of brown and the BOMBed eye sees bright and clear and getting better every day. You will really notice a difference for the better. Do it as soon as you can.

Its truly amazing what they can do surgically to the eyes now.

I've always had good eyesight and when told I could have a cataract operation for my both eyes I wondered how my eyesight could be improved, at around 45 years of age needed glasses for reading but regular vision was OK. Being 85 years old and in good health decided to have the operation when I really didn't need it, (fix something before it happens). Operation went well, they did the weakest first, Doctor spoke all the time of the operation giving an account of what he was doing. (quite interesting). Very through regarding pre-preparation, and post operation, time and number of drops in eye, red tops, grey tops, white tops and tan, colors of the eye drops bottle cap. Kept it up for 6 weeks, then the other eye operated on. Any discomfort I found moderate, able to get about normally and sleep undisturbed. Just recently have been able to contact some men I served with in a British Infantry Battalion 1946-47 in India and still living in Britain some had cataracts removed, seems today its quite common. I would say that my sight remains the same, I still use reading glasses for reading a newspaper, but for the computer screen never needed glasses to read regardless of size of print. The glasses I used pre-operation are of no use now, so a slight vision change, but I fail to notice it.

My friends in Britain said when they had the cataract operation there was not any pre-operation preparation, just went to the clinic on day of operation, had one eye done then given biscuits (cookies) and a cup of tea, then home, then put in drops for 4 weeks, same as myself.
