My mother (soon to be 89) had both of her's done at age 85.
One at a time which seems to be the normal schedule.
The second one about a month or two later after the first one
healed. Just follow all directions with eye drops, etc.
 
I can feel Sheldon's worry though. I would worry about any
surgery even though this one seems very routine.

I had mine done about one month apart:) Over the years I've had both
knees replaced too.
 
I am still me though .. honestly:))

I took my step-mom to her cataract surgery. When the nurse brought her out, I gave her a box of macaroons for the staff. I had originally bought it for my step-mom but this made more sense. It was an executive decision.
 
The surgery turned out great - she can now read. She says she can't watch TV though. I told her to get a bigger TV.

My father in law was not a fan of pie and especially disliked lemon
meringue. They were at a friend's for dinner one night and the woman
served him lemon meringue pie. He managed to eat it, and then
complimented the hostess on the best pie he had ever had.... because he
thought a good guest should say good things about the meal. Every time
they went there for supper she served lemon meringue pie, and he could
never say that he didn't really like it.

I always told my daughter and anyone else that ate my cooking...
Don't tell me you loved it just to avoid hurting my feelings.
If you tell me you loved it, you'll probably get it again.
If you didn't like it, tell me...I won't be offended. Everyone
has different tastes. I realize that.

I agree! That is what I say about everything I cook:))

My Korean mother-in-law needed people to tell her how great her cooking was. When she gave me a bowl of spicy soup, I was horrified. There were tiny fishes and baby octopus in there. The octopus looked like they were dumped in boiling water alive because they were frozen in a scary defensive posture. If you're dealing with an Asian cook, you better show & tell them you love their cooking. Otherwise, it is a great loss of face.

My dislike of both blue cheese and runny eggs was well hidden from my
in-laws (they fed me both at various times because they wanted to treat
me well), but they never needed to be told I love their cooking. I always
told them the food was good--or delicious if it was--but never that I loved it.
All in all, I'd rather be Western than Eastern. It must be a terrible burden
to have to take care of others' "face" all the time. I'll manage my own and
let others worry about theirs.

Happened when my daughter was a teen and was having her best
friend over for the night.
 
Both had requested my roasted and stuffed chicken along with
mashed potatoes and green beans. Kind of like a typical
Thanksgiving dinner meal.
 
So I cooked everything and timed it all to be done at the
same time.
 
First I mashed the potatoes and added milk, butter, salt.
Left that sitting on an off burner without lid.
 
Then I turned off the heated green beans, also left on
another off burner uncovered.
 
Took roasted chicken out of the oven and immediately
transfered that to a serving plate. Then I scooped
out the stuffing into a large serving bowl. Both sat
on the counter right next to the stove.
 
Only thing left to do was make gravy from the chicken
drippings left in the pyrex 9X13 hot cooking dish. Since
the dish was already very hot, I made the gravy right in
the pyrex dish with a low flame on the burner underneath.
I had done that 100 times before.
 
This time, the pyrex dish literally exploded. I can only
assume that it had gotten too old and weak/fragile.
What a mess. Gravy all over the stove and glass shards
all over the floor, counter and stovetop.
 
All the other food was right next to it too so you know
that glass got into everything. CRAP!
 
I just stood there stunned for a minute and realized there
was nothing to be salvaged in this nice meal. So I cleaned
up all the mess then went into the bedroom and told the
girls, "Change of plan...we're going out for pizza tonight"

That's why glass cookware is a BIG NO NO!
 
I have a full set of Pyrex measuring cups but they are never used for
heating anything.
 
I also have some very attractive glass serving pieces that say "Oven
Proof" but they are never used for heating anything.

I like to pour hot oil into glass containers - you never know if it's going to shatter or not. Very exciting.

Sheldon, what do you heat shit in?
I microwave 2 cups bullion and water everyday for my clear Boddum thermos for early work.
No explosions yet. Pyrex.

It's only a dropped wine glass hitting the floor that may shatter, our
floors including the kitchen and bathrooms are all hardwood...
dinnerware may bounce but it doesn't shatter. Indoors I'm always
wearing flip flops, often even outdoors too.

When a wine glass is dropped it's Dyson time. Our everyday plates are
usually paper plates. Our company dishes are earthernware, those may
break when dropped but don't shatter.

LOL those aren't nursing bras but glad to hear your fetish is just as
strong as ever. ;)
 
Bras are too damned expensive to turn into face masks. Just buy a
bandana and tie it over your nose and mouth, as if you were planning to
hold up the stage coach. :)

My last grocery store trip was on May 15. I'll finally go
tomorrow or Wednesday.
 
As always, I'll wear my face mask while inside.
 
This one is good. No need to buy a mask or make your own.
Use your imagination.
 
This is perfect. Wear it even outside if you care to, just
pull it down to your chin when entering a store. Do make
sure your mask is a clean one each trip.

I posted a while back about a town councilman and grocery store owner
who got caught up in a mess when it turned out that he was going to work
and had been to a council meeting while he had the virus. Another
council member got it and died. This guy was a little sick and had no
idea that he had a virus that was killing so many people.
 
We have also been seeing numerous cases where employees in nursing homes
were infected and passing the virus on to residents. When tested
positive they were sent home to isolate for two weeks, but I have not
read anything that indicates that large numbers of those actually got sick.

Faggot pink soup! That would absolutely wreck the Manhattan clam
chowder for me... I really don't like any cream soups except for cold
Borsht and Shav with sour cream.

IT's probably best for nursing homes to not let out any info on covid-19 deaths - it's bad for business.
