Well the surgery on my ball went well. The actual slicing and dicing part seemed to take longer than the last one on the other ball.
I was again the baby in the pre-op room.....surrounding by an 87 yr. old woman, and 2 men, one 74 and the other 77.
Thanks again for everyone's well wishes. Cataract surgery has become so routine now that it hardly ever goes awry. My doctor was also the best eye surgeon in this area.
I was so hungry Hubs took me directly to the Chinese buffet afterwards. A quick stop for more rxs and it was home and a nap.
The eye patch is now off and the vision is still fuzzy but should be returning over the next couple of days.
Tomorrow after my post-op follow-up which College Boy is taking me to, we'll make a stop at the Dollar Tree for a couple of pairs of "cheater" glasses, so I can see the computer screen without having to stretch my arms out. lolz
Let me get specific about the Eldest son's new job. Being a native born and raised Virginian myself, anything north of Richmond I consider Northern Virginia. Eldest won't be teaching in the Northern VA 'DC 'burbs but in Spotsylvania County, outside of Fredericksburg(which is halfway on I-95 between Richmond and DC). I spent a Summer living/working in F/burg back in the '80s at the theatre at Mary Washington so I have a recollection of the area(which most probably has changed immensely). Rents/traffic isn't quite as bad that far South along the interstate but it's within striking range of DC.
This location also gives the GF opportunities to look for a position from Richmond to DC/VA 'burbs or even as far as Waldorf MD if she crossed over onto that patch at Dahlgren VA.
The apartment search is being centered in Spotsylvania Co./Fredericksburg/Stafford. There are a couple places in King George Co. he is considering as well. It's been hard finding housing under $900 a month anyway. With not being able to rely on any income from the GF yet they need to keep it as low as possible. Once she gets her boards passed and finds a position they would be able to upgrade to a nicer/more expensive place so this first place is just to get them into the area and probably won't be a long term living situation.
Depending on where the GF gets a position eventually will affect where they move to next as they want to try to end up in a location that is fairly equidistance for commuting for them both.
Just wish us luck finding something that doesn't break the budget and is in a safe neighborhood.
