Yesterday and today I have been getting ready for my Cataract surgery tomorrow by taking 3 medications 4 times a day. I re-read all the instructions the doctor had given me , and one thing I had not remembered was that I wasn't supposed to take vitamin E. Well, I have been taking it faithfully every day for a couple of years, because my hair is getting thin. I fussed about this error, and finally I called the clinic and talked to a nurse about it. She said she would tell the doctor, but she didn't think it would matter, and that the surgery would continue as scheduled. She would call me back. I worried about it all day, but when she hadn't called by afternoon, I went with Chris to the local Kaiser pharmacy to pick up some medications. We got them, and then hurried back to the apartment, partly because he had forgotten his wallet, and he might have been stopped because he was driving without his license. It was a nice day, except for an off- shore wind, and ordinarily we would have stopped and walked along the shore. Finally the nurse called back, and she said the vitamin E was no problem; the surgery would go on as scheduled. And she also said the doctor had told her the printed material needed to be up-dated, there were things that had changed, and that would be done. We were relieved, and went to dinner happily.
