On Tusday it was the GP's. Yesterday it was the Welfare lot and today was the eye consultant for my cataracts. Tomorrow it is the respiratory clinic to get my oxygen flow right. I have a great social life, always out and about meeting new people.
Anyway, this morning the taxi I had booked for 8.30 still hadn’t arrived at 8.50. I phoned them and a conversation involving lots of F’s took place. Taxi turned up 5 minutes later. Things got better at the eye hospital. Friendly staff took great delight in inserting drops and pointy things into my eyes. This was after I had given them my life history for the computer. Even the consultant was a nice guy (well, for a consultant).
The upshot was that in 8 – 10 weeks they will operate on me. I might be able to read what you lot are saying properly then. Have a happy day everyone. Love from Bobby xx

I had cataracts removed from my eyes last year. What a difference! I think the most noticeable was how bright everything is. Also, be very careful about jarring your eyes, or doing something that might increase your blood pressure (lifting things etc) until your eyes are fully healed. The warnings your eye consultant will give you are genuine.
Don't be frightened by what I've just said. The benefits are fantastic and one of the best things the NHS can do for you.
Thumbs up!!!!

Yes,so well worth it, had both eyes done,over a few months,absolutely wonderful! Good luck with it.xx
Thank you both. I should have had it done ages ago but I bottled it. No hero me. lol
My mum had hers done a few years ago, and before they were removed the consultant let me have a look at them through his 'thingy that makes them big' they are the most beautiful thing I had seen, like a very colourful kaleidoscope.
I have got the start of them, whether they'll ever get bad enough to need removing I don't know.

I had my cataracts done years ago, quite early before they got too bad. I did see the most beautiful kaleidoscope colours during the op. Warning, I went to tescos, a few days afterwards, and found the lighting too dazzling. I needed sunglasses. Well worth having it done.
