Roswell cataract center everything is OK and I can make a eye glass appointment for one month after my last eye surgery next month on the sixteenth.

Today was an early appointment and that went fast. Then weekly shopping at Walmart and Albertsons.

I do not know about yesterday but today the electrical contractor is working on connecting the new electric pedestals. The electric company finally added another power pole and the contractor installed the power junction box. Working on two lot pedestals the digger (digging out the old electric pedestals) contacted “water” and water was shutoff.

We got water back this afternoon after two pipe repairs. I have been making a a cabinet for the rear of the big slide out, underneath the mirror. We have been having a fold up table there with a larger top, not screwed down. The cat tipped it all over one day jumping off the table top and everything stored off the table top. The cabinet top will be smaller and there will be another shelf to place stored things. The sides are attached to the back on hinges and the front screws to the sides and this will allow us to collapse the cabinet when traveling.

Well I screwed up today. Going into the wood shop to cut a couple of boards (for the cabinet) and I tripped over an electric cord connected to a golf cart falling into a table saw. I hit my chest on the left side bruising a rib.

Feeling somewhat better started out with just aspirin then added an ace bandage and changed to a back support worn higher. After two nights sleeping a little better as it was hurting when changing position. Even using the copilots chair (recliner) coming out of recline hurt. It was OK

just sitting or standing but changing from one to another hurt. I am getting over that now, less pain. It is still hard to blow my nose or cough.

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.
