Ann, I just now found this post. A few weeks ago, my wife had cataracts removed from both eyes. She then had Toric lenses implanted in both eyes in the hope that the info is true and she'll not need glasses except to read. She's encouraged by her progress at this point. I feel your scheduling dilemma. Can't imagine your not being able to convey its impracticality. I'm confident you'll make it happen on your realistic schedule. My best hope for positive results. A fan!

We all must suffer the indignities inflicted upon us by the health care system. We are all thinking of you and praying for a swift and complete recovery. I am sure that after the surgery, it will all be worth it.
