Re: Eyes
#37. Denis am off in 30 minutes , don’t know which song to sing to the wife in the car en route , I’m off to see the wizard , the wonderful wizard of Oz, or, My eyes are dim I cannot see I have not brought my specs with me. Will have to do the crossword out of paper later with one eye , can’t be any harder than with two , as nearly always get it wrong in any case. Cheers JS.

Re: Eyes
Hi JS
A bit late but seen this Post mate.
You will be just fine i am sure,as all Eye procedures these days seem to be well in hand with all the new and Modern tecniques at hand.
Dont think you will be allowed to get to any Pubs LOL
You are lucky at last,i know how it is to wait so long, my turn hopefully early Next Year, with another appointment in September this Year for futher checks before the actual Ops.
Cheers
My Eyes are dim i cannot see
I have not brought my Specs with me ! I Remember that one !

He will be laying there right now with a lovely nurse soothing his brow, and a surgeon waiting in the next room cleaning his scalpel, He'll be good by 3pm and wondering what all the fuss was about.
