We do the same progressions always wonder if it makes you stronger ?Nothing like sharing it around - generous poppetLuckily you all seemed to get over it quickly.
Really happy to hear! Yes don't worry that there's still some activity, that's just the size being a pain. Last couple cycles of chemo and some radiation will hopefully knock off the rest!
Thank you @k_sheep . I consider myself somewhat fortunate with reasonable odds and good medical care.
Fractured medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus. Pins were required. I have a cool Xray view of her lower leg now! 
Though one might say that makes three so end of bad luckMy Mum and I seem to have shared our recent propensity for hurting our ankles/feet. Unfortunately for my friend, her hurt ankle was closer to my Mum's than mine.
Mum broke her ankle and wrist last Nov after being knocked over by a dog.
I sprained my ankle (apparently not so much the foot despite the bruising all over the top of my foot, as well as in the places drron showed in his pics). 4 weeks ago. That night, a friend arrived from Germany to spend a few weeks tidying up her 80yo godfather's house, as he finally agreed some tidying up was necessary. Said Godfather is single, never married, no kids, and his goddaughter and some nephews are his closest family.
Friend proceeds to do a LOT of tidying up in his house while she was in Brisbane, as well as helping me enormously with school dropoffs, etc, while Mr Katie was away. The Godfather's house had approx. 2t of newspapers removed ... and that wasn't all of them! Payslips back to the mid-70s were thrown out. Bond cleaners engaged for a deep clean and treatment of mould in ceilings, etc. She had a very full-on 3 weeks, but at least Mr Katie was back for the last part of it and able to cook yummy meals.
On the day after friend arrived home in Germany, her wife had them booked on a small trekking trip in Annapurna, Nepal. Yes, in AFF style, she was home for barely 24hrs!
Friend wasn't looking forward to it much, as her wife has the agility and speed of a mountain goat on hikes (I mean this as a sincere compliment) and my friend ... does not ...
On Saturday night just gone, we're sent some pics of a swollen left foot with a funny colour to it on a hospital bed in Nepal. Within a couple of hours, friend is booked in for surgery the next day.
So, if you want to keep your ankles/feet safe, best not to come near me or my Mum anytime soon!
(Of course it's not catching, but we're having a little joke with it.)
One the other hand …….
Do you mean on the other foot...?Though one might say that makes three so end of bad luck
MrLtL has worn glasses or contacts since he was 14. Cataract surgery over the past month and no glasses needed for long vision. He will need a pair of reading ones though. He said it feels like a miracle!
It will be worth it
Wow. Apparently they can install lens that will work for single vision (long or short) dual vision (both) or one that is midway. I think I will try for improved distance vision but that may change.
Yes you can get a variety of lenses these days. I have friends who have one of each - distance and close. He likes them. The choices were a bit more limited when I go my first olne done but I decided to go for long for normal vision then simple glasses for reading and screens. Discuss the differences with your opthomologist as to advantages of each.
I have one long one short and it's fine.
I got my first pair of glasses at 17. I thought there must be a reason For the street signs but I couldn't read them. turned out significant Myopia. but like my grandfather in his 80s it is no longer difficult to read a newspaper or books without glasses.
No problems at all - in fact I have to actually close one eye and look at something to work out which is my long and which is my short. I worked with someone who had contact lenses with one long and one short and she said they took no time to get used to. Happy to chat more
I got IOLs (intra ocular lenses) almost 2 years ago (a day apart). I didn’t have cataracts but wanted them so I wouldn’t need to wear multi focal glasses. Mine are tri-focal lenses and are fantastic.
The ophthalmologist said today that cataract removal in developed countries anyway, is principally done to correct visual acuity as opposed to the cloudiness from the cataract. I wonder if this means the end of laser surgery?
