Since Sept 2005

A lot has happened and it's only recently that I realized I had not posted here in ages.

By January of 2006 I had gone blind in my left eye, and lost about 70% sight in my Right Eye. Once again thanks to the efforts and kindness of Miri Shepher I was able to get into Medi Cal and have cataract removal done. The enrollment and acceptance by Medicare took a long time and then the approval for the Left Eye Surgery took some time, so the first surgery was done September 20, 2006 and went perfect. No pain, and new lenses were inserted and work perfect. I now have 20/30 vision in my left eye. The Right eye was done on December 23, 2206 (what a great Christmas Present) and I now have 20/40 in that eye. I no longer have to wear glasses and only use reading glasses to read as artificial lenses do not "auto-focus" so close up is blurry unless I wear reading glasses. I can see far away just fine and at the movies I can see the screen without the use of any type of glasses now. So I am very happy and again thank the kindness of Miri Shepher for helping me through this. I go into Life Alert once a week to see things and let Miri and Issac know how I am doing.

I have been to Disneyland many times now during the week and also on Sundays to meet with the Mice Chat group. My sister has her own blog now and she just posted a report on the 2nd year anniversary we had last month and about 300 people showed up, which was really something. Disneyland sent 8 people from the photo store to take our picture in front of the Castle, which was tarped and boarded off due to a repaint, but it still came out nice. I wish I knew hot to link to her blog, but I do know it's named My Musings.

That's about it for now. I am enjoying the rest and ease of Retirement. It's not not easy living on Social Security, but I am managing to do pretty good. I have time to play around on the computer, make more paper models, and still manage to collect Harry Potter and Disney stuff.
