Going for the Chop
Jul. 31st, 2022 07:13 pmLast Thursday I had some very rigorous eye tests [had eyestrain afterwards] and am now set for cataract surgery. The Eye Doctor of Doom told me that the hospital where he works in my catchment [residential area which dictates what hospital you go to if you're a public patient] has the shortest waiting list in all Perth. I'd been told three months would be really lucky, well, how about the last week in August and first week in September?
Now I'm hoping nothing happens to move those dates because I've now sorted leave to cover them and recovery time. The leave dates I talked about last week had to be vacated and moved!
Today I filled out the forms for said hospital and I think that's probably the most strenuous part. Four pages of essential information. So I'm told. I hate bureaucracy. The doc said the operations would take 15 mins each and then added he didn't know how long I'd have to hang around the hospital. For Some Time, anyway.
I've even snagged a responsible adult [how does it feel to be called that, Leece?] to get me home afterwards as the hospital won't let me out without one, if I read the form right. Many thanks for that.
( Rat troubles )
My laptop also chose right now for its battery to die. It's not an immediate emergency as I usually have it plugged in anyway, but I wish it would stop telling me. I've tried to find out how to get rid of the warning but all I get is to remove the battery and I'm not confident to do that. I guess I'll get it into a shop somewhere during my leave. I got this laptop at the start of 2019 so it's done fairly well.
I'm ready for winter to stop but of course it's got another month to go before things even start warming up. The nasturtiums have begun to flower but it's very grey, cold, depressing and wet for a lot of the time. This is also Sunday night. Forgive me; I'm never in very good spirits at the beginning of a work week.
