other dog Posted Tuesday at 03:41 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 03:41 PM On 8/16/2025 at 10:52 AM, mechohaulic said: the effects old age is spread to all of us. heard interesting statement last trip to DR; " the heart surgeon that did your procedure doesn't do surgeries any more " well that's good to know. heck of a note to be on the table all sewed up and he doesn't remember if all the parts are in there!!!😁 I just got back from the eye doctor. Last time I went the pressure was 24 in my left eye. Not sure what that means, but the pressure should be in the teens. It got up to 21 in both eyes when I first started using eye drops years ago. So she said last visit she wanted to re-check it in a month, and if it was still too high I might be a candidate for laser surgery. And today it was 21 in my left eye, 16 in the right eye, so she's going to refer me to the laser surgery guy. I put drops to reduce the pressure in my left eye 3 times a day, then another in both eyes before I go to bed. I told Zina before I left that I was as nervous as a long tail cat in a room full of rocking chairs. I talked to Jeff Moore about it though, he had it done and he said it wasn't that bad.

mowerman Posted 10 hours ago Author Share Posted 10 hours ago Yeah, that doesn’t surprise me at all. We’ve got so many cars here now and everybody is in a big old hurry. This place is absolutely horrible speeding tailgating illegal passing running lights. It’s ridiculous here. I really don’t even like to drive anywhere I’ve mentioned before I only take my car out three times a week to the gym 5 miles each way and I hate even doing that. Fortunately, most of my business is on the way to the gym Home Depot FedEx shipping dentist. It’s all in the same area. As well as many restaurants we would like to trade with I feel your pain Dave. I ran down into LA many years and believe it or not with all the traffic they have down there. I had more incidents up here very glad to be done with roadwork. 1 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/76/#findComment-581069 Share on other sites More sharing options...
