How are you feeling, RBP?

Not bad, thanks. Still tired. The eye is still bothering me, but it seems better. Pain is less, focus has improved, fogginess reduced, but still a ways to go.

My follow up is in 3 hours. I'm the only one who thinks it's okay to drive there. I can't quite figure out how to manage the glasses until the next surgery is done. Hopefully they will have ideas.

Remove the lens from the right side of your glasses

...or cut that side off.

This is an anticipated problem. The reason I am doing the surgeries in back to back weeks is because the difference between the new right lens and prescription in my left eye is too great to correct with glasses (might be possible with a contact). I did take out the right glasses lens, that doesn't work. The images don't align. I have the same problem (worse) with computer glasses now... two different scripts to manage. I am not sure how to solve for this until I get the other eye done.

You've regained your peripheral vision in your right eye plus depth perception along with clarity. That's a lot for the brain to process overnight for what took years to develop.

My sister asked asked if I was okay to drive to the doctor today.

Me to her: Should be fine.

Trump just gave a big fuck you to Germany. Poland is paying their share to NATO, so Trump is honoring the request from Poland for more troops and more economic cooperation.

German is still paying about 50% of their NATO obligation, so Trump is pulling troops to give to Poland. Our presence in Germany is going from 58,000 to 25,000.

"Germany spends billions to Russia for energy from the pipeline. Then they expect us to defend them from Russia?"

I'm beat down and just tired

Take some time off

[Griffin]

Every day I set aside a little time so that at the end of the year I can take a vacation by myself.

Take some time off

I did, I took a week off back in 1998.
