Fuzzy Dice

Good Morning from Fuzzy Dice Auto Center!

In the waiting area...1947 Cushman Two-Seater Scooter.

My pony Subaru is having a 30,000 miles grooming in the back of my all-time favorite garage. They are saving me $400 for same from the dealership--naughty dealership. And, there is all this local talent refurbishing old cars, trucks, horse vans, jeeps, Jags and motorcycles; plus, all the routine auto TLC.

This 1944 Indian Chief 1200 Military Motorcycle was just sold on eBay to a Japanese gentleman.

I came equipped for the wait since Wendy is milking and John is off to work. Aidan, of course, is off to his school--the first out the door most days.

Now...

Health Desk Report:

Three hours of pretty intensive workup yesterday afternoon at the second opinion eye doc.

Here is what I learned: Lens specks do happen once in awhile; I could have had a corrective lens (but wasn't told about it); the surgery itself was a good job; new doc'll check the speck in a month; there's a slight bit of irritation around speck so upped the prednisone drops dosage; he won't let it go too long as can cause other problems, surgically remove it if not gone pretty soon; yes, specks self-absorb (sometimes) because they are no longer in the "sac" and body regards it as a foreign object--answering my question about how come the body absorbs the speck when it doesn't absorb its own eye lenses when we're born; yes, we are going to do the other eye (later, after right eye issues resolved), not only because of its cataract, but because the lens is yellowed and the refraction so different from the right eye now that it is causing the brain to interpret the prism-like sight message as double vision; yes, we can correct the double vision which occurs at range for reading or looking at this laptop screen, but not using the glasses Rx from the other doc (he didn't go beyond standard measurements which wouldn't have worked) with reading glasses and distance glasses, "get cheap ones, doesn't matter where from" new doc says so can toss when other eye is corrected. 

Yea! very decent, brilliant guy, brilliant warm staff. Whew!

Now you know way more than you wanted about ophthalmology. (Even the spelling!)

I'll return to my e-newspapers now after I scare up a cup of coffee from the Fuzzy Dice contraption.
