More eyes

We got back from the follow-up, and everything us coming up roses. The tests came back just fine and Nana tested at almost 20/20 vision in her post-op eye. 20/20! She's sitting and reading without her glasses. I saw her polishing off her old sniper scope. She's reading the numbers off overhead airplanes. I'm saying that the woman has good eyes.

I also planted a shrub out in front of the house this morning (a good lesson from the master), started dinner (yay for crockpots!) and introduced Nana to the wonders of on-demand photo printing. I brought my camera into a drug store, plugged in the memory card, and we printed out several pictures I took of the parent and baby robins hopping around the yard. Some of them came out very, very nice. They were printed out in just a few seconds, and then Nana wanted some more pictures of us. So, we stepped outside, took some pictures with the camera, stepped back inside, and then printed them right out, right there. It's like living in the FUTURE.

Grandparents are asleep right now, and much as I'd like to join them, my flight *leaves* at 6:20 tomorrow morning, so napping is inadvisable.

Amazing that she has such good vision and the rest of us (I'm looking at you, Dr. Preecs) struggle with brown eyes and foggy glasses.

Noel, thank you so much for stepping up for this role . . I know Nana and Papa were glad to have capable help for the operation, but digging stumps and planting shrubs and futurized photo printing was a wonderful bonus. I only hope you did the yard work in what passes for the cool of the day.
Gratefully,
Uncle B
