Random 3 for September 28, 2025 – Eyes, butts, lunch

Just three today. I had an eye procedure on Friday and my vision in one eye is blurred. It makes me more off kilter than usual.

About Friday – I’ve had this procedure three times before and I always hate it. I swore I wouldn’t do it again yet here I am. They have improved it since last time but I still think this is the last time. For the curious, it’s Prokera. They put an amniotic lens in your eye to heal cornea inflammation. It stays on for three days and then they remove it. Yes, it works but for me it’s annoying. It feels like a super-sized Frisby is sitting on my eyeball.

In other medical news – I have my first office appointment with the butt doc for my colonoscopy this week. I expect to cry and carryon in the hopes that it will all go away and I won’t need one. (Yes, I’m a dreamer!)

A bright spot – The women in my family get together several times a year for lunch. It’s always enjoyable. We don’t see each other much outside of this so it’s a great opportunity to catch up. We cancelled last time because my 95-year-old sister-in-law was not up to snuff. We have decided to go ahead this Tuesday even if someone must cancel. We are hoping Betty (my SIL) will be able to join us. Never a dull moment with her around.

So how was your week?

  2. Well, now it’s October 3. I’m want to hear about the eye (better now?) and the colonoscopy – done and done, ugh) and the luncheon. Hope ALL went well. I get so sick from the clean-out that I can’t do a colonoscopy (last one hospitalized me). I do that thing where they send a box and you give a sample. If it’s clean, not need for the colonoscopy. For me, it’s a better way to go.

    • I was there today. He recommended a combination of pills and drano which he said would be kinder to my gut. We’ll see. At least it’s not a gallon of stuff. He also said to stop taking it once I’m cleared out. Unless he finds something big, this will be my last.

  6. I hope the eye procedure had a good outcome. As to the colonoscopy, I’ve had several over the years. The worst thing about it is the preparation – in other words, the laxatives. At least the liquid you have to drink doesn’t taste nearly as bad as the kind they used the first time I underwent the procedure. They do it under sedation here. How about over there?The Ladies’ Get-Together sounds like a wonderful idea. Sisters (and mothers and daughters, and SIL’s) should get together whenever they can. Carpe diem. You may think there’s always another time, but then time runs out and it’s too late. Believe me. I know.

    • I know you know all too well that in the blink of an eye we can lose someone. I’m excited about the luncheon. My butt experiences date back to when they did barium enema exams. Same cleanout needed but with castor liver oil and wide awake. They’ve come a long way but I still don’t like to get them.

  12. The female members of your family are smart to have a yearly date for your get together. Otherwise they don’t happen. I hope your sister-in-law makes it. She looks like a lot of fun.

  18. Does it feel like having a contact lens in your eye . . . or bigger? Either way, hope it doesn’t interfere with fun at lunch on Tuesday.

    Eat what you can now . . . before the clean out begins!

    BTW: After an “anomaly” on my mammogram earlier this month, the radiologist compared this year’s films with older films and decided . . . STABLE and BENIGN. Yippee! Back to once a year monitoring.

    • Yay for you! That’s great news. No biopsy! No it does not feel like a contact lens. I wore those for 35 years and you don’t feel them. This you feel. It’s large an covers the whole eye to it bumps the edges frequently. It comes out tomorrow (Monday) so I won’t be grumpy for the luncheon.
