Why, no. I can't.
I have struggled with some vision issues for years. I have what is called Fuch's Dystrophy. You can look it up. I will wait.
I've told you for years that I'm exceptional and once again I can prove it. Usually, Fuch's afflicts women. Almost always older people. I was diagnosed in my mid-forties. Hooyah. Anyway, in recent months my vision has deteriorated severely. When I went last month for new glasses the eye doc said he cannot help me and sent me to a surgeon.
Yesterday, it was confirmed. In a couple of weeks I go in for the first of my cornea transplants. The second one will follow two weeks after that. I'm assured it is not a big deal and fairly routine. I'm getting my minor cataracts removed while they are in there. Unfortunately, new lenses can't correct severe astigmatism, so when I'm done I will still have to wear my damn bifocals. But at least I will be able to see. There is that.
So, you will continue to read my rants and nonsense for a few more weeks. Then I will not be posting for a while; maybe for six or eight weeks - until the transplants start to work and I can get my new, far weaker glasses prescription. You will survive.
Me too.
I will keep you posted.

Luck, my friend.
Hope all goes well.
Keep posting 'til then.
Hope all goes well with the surgeries.
Have you thought about voice recognition software for putting out the blog. 6-8 weeks is a long time to keep those rants pent in. Might be worse that lifting something. I'm not a doctor but I watch one on tv.
