I find out tomorrow whether or not the LBBB is anything significant.
Signed up for cataract surgery next Wed. Next eye a week or two later.
Thursday I go for the impressions for my LAST two teeth.
And, except for the LBBB I'm excited about it all. HaHa
Teeth have taken almost 2 years to complete.
I haven't been seeing as well as I should since last spring sometime. It might not bother me so much if I wore my glasses more....... but I don't unless I have to (driving/TV/want to see something at a distance clearly). I'm not a candidate for the new multifocal lens (due to drusen) but I should be able to get the corrective lens requirement off my drivers license and just use glasses for reading. That will be a change since I have been near sighted all my life. The lens the doc plans to use are called Crystalens. He says that by making my right (dominant) eye as near perfect as possible for distance and making the left eye slightly more myopic I should have a good range of vision. That sure would be nice.
Just had to share. Not many people to talk to right now.

That's quite a few "system upgrades". And that cataract surgery sounds like a lens implant. My brother mentioned that he's going to have a lens implant done in a week or so. I'll have to ask him if he's going to get the same type of IOL.
Best of luck with all those procedures.

Sounds like you are going to be busy for awhile. The eye surgery should be healing in record time and hopefully the teeth issue will be quick and complete soon.
Take care.........will be thinking of you.

LBBB - unknown cause (Age is the best guess) Stress test completely normal. Echocardiogram only showed slightly enlarged heart. Maybe a little thickening of muscle wall. Probably caused by history of High Blood Pressure. Anyway, not bad for a 67 year old.
I had a feeling it would be OK.

Hi Shirley, that is great news on the LBBB.
About the lenses your dr. is going to use.... that is how my eyes are naturally apparently. It is called monovsion, I think. I have always had terrible distance sight in my left eye but could read the Lord's prayer off of pin head with it ( well, not quite) and the other eye is pretty good for distance. As a result, tho I wear glasses at night for driving, I can still read fine print without reading glasses. I think you will like it.
Good luck with the surgery.
