Pete, there is nothing I can do beyond what I have been -- good thoughts winging (do thoughts "wing"?) Tommy's way.

keberoxu (and all), my eye surgery seems to have placed both eyes at 20/30, with means I could legally drive without glasses. I'll know more on the 26th, when I again see the eye doc and should get a new prescription. In the meantime, I continue to put in one each of two drops every day.

I had hand surgery (trigger finger, a tendon condition) a week ago last Friday. The stitches are supposed to come out this week. I'm doing hand exercises and going without a dressing on it (the wound is literally --- that long and has two stitches in it). The skin pulls when I flex my hand and there is some pain in the adjoining fingers. What bothers me most is that during the four (4) hours I was in the hospital -- 30 minutes for the surgery and the rest for prep and recovery -- I seem to have picked up an upper respiratory infection and I've been on antibiotics for it since last Monday.

Go the hospital and get sick -- it's how they stay in busy!
