Cataracts




The SKP Ranch Lakewood, NM - Wednesday, December 4, 2019
Morning 40 Degrees, Wind NW at 2 to 3 Mph, Humidity 84%, cloudy.

Up and out early, no eating breakfast for our trip to Roswell. After a sixty mile trip going to Lovelace hospital, nine AM for the left cataract procedure. Pretty easy out by eleven AM and over to the doctors office for two checks, instructions and eye drops.
Then we went to eat and do some shopping, gasoline for the car and the sixty mile drive home.


Morning 45 Degrees, Wind SE at 4 to 5 Mph, Humidity 97%, cloudy, fog.
Afternoon 45 Degrees, Wind S at 6 to 12 Mph, cloudy.

It was not fun driving to Roswell today with the fog, although going north of Artesia the fog thinned and lifted as we got closer to Roswell. And then we waited, two and a half hours in the loby and the prep time was longer than the first time. The procedure time was about the same. I did leave my phone and glasses in the recovery area. After we left the hospital and went to eat something then the doctor office for two checks, instructions and more waiting. Then back to the hospital picking up the glasses and phone I forgot, I was trying to get out of there as quick as possible. Too much waiting drained us so we did not do any shopping or stops that we did not “have” to do. We did put gasoline in Tan Jan after eating but that was it. It was getting dark as we started home four forty in the afternoon we had very little sun, and there still were a lot of clouds around.
