some random updates... and back dating...
a couple of weeks ago, after the beautiful south show, i did some research on my pending eye surgery. the procedure is called a dacryocystorhinostomy (dcr for short) and the one that my opthalmologist scheduled me for is the external dcr which involves an incision on the side of my nose. well, i've discover (thanks to the internet) that there is a endoscopic version of the dcr which is done through your nose and typically by an ent physician. some opthalmologists do both but apparently, mine does not, as he didn't not even mention the endoscopic dcr version to me. i'm guessing, he wants the business, obviously. damn greedy doctor. so, i've cancelled the dcr scheduled in december and on the same date, have scheduled an appointment with an ent to discuss my options for the endoscopic dcr surgery. it's bad enough that i'm constantly teary in my left eye but the prospect of having a scar right in the smack middle of my face is enough to try something new. actually, the endoscopic dcr has been around for over 25 years. and the success rates of both the endoscopic and external procedures are essentially the same. the external dcr success rate is only a little bit higher but there are more chances for side-effects and infection, not to mention that scar. and if the procedure guarantees a 50% improvement, so be it. anything is better than what it is now.
what else... my roommate is finally moving out. yes, i have a roommate. she moved in during the summer and is my sister-in-law's friend from high school going through her second divorce. i know, yikes. she's only 33. now that she is moving out, my sister is moving in. it's going to be nice to have her back in the house again.
and it looks like i have less than a month and a half until my mancott is over. maybe. depending on my mood, i think i might file a few extensions. who knows.
last but least, the big 3-2 years of age tomorrow. i've been telling everyone that i was 32 so it doesn't feel different. 31 is such an ugly sounding age anyway. yeah, i'm happy actually.
