The big news of today is that I had my Cataract surgery! I was worried about it, but it didn't hurt, because they gave me lots of pain killers in the about 2 hours I spent on a bed, waiting for the pain killers to take affect. There were several people to get us ready (there were five of us waiting on the beds) I was the last one for the day for my doctor to operate on. Chris and Karen waited on the main waiting room, and they missed lunch, too, like most of us waiting on the beds. But we made up for lunch when we got back here. Karen bought hamburgers and drinks for us, and we ate them in the apartment. We rested a while, and then Carla came over. She had arrived in San Diego, rented a car, driven up here, and visited Al before coming to see us. We had a nice visit, and then she went to Karen's, where she will be staying. Kaye called, and we talked about her new house that will be starting to be built, about two months later than she and Kyle had been counting on. But it's go to be built, and that is the important thing. Later we saw on the computer an interview showing Patricia Briggs, the author friend of Kaye's, whose books I have enjoyed. This interview was in France, where Pattie's books are being published, in French. Kaye has sent me two of the French editions, but I haven't read them yet. I have read 18 pages of one of them.
