Frankly, My Dear…

Do you think it’s bad luck to make an appt to have something done to my defective eye on Fri, the 13th??? After not doing it for the whole week, the big chicken finally picked up the phone about 30 mins ago and made the appt. I’m so thrilled—NOT! I won’t know until then which type of surgery it’ll be–lazer or the deep sleep kind! They are overbooked, most likely because it’s summer, and, at first, she gave me an Aug date but after I told her I was in the ER last week, she changed it to July 18th. She also said there’d be a long wait. I hope for my cousin, who’s driving up from near Montgomery, it won’t mean we’re there until 9 pm like last time!

Looking at my eye, you can’t tell anything is wrong. It’s not even bloodshot. All the action is inside which means I can see it! If I close my left eye, everything is blurry and it looks like I have hair in my eye and if I move my eye, it moves, too! When I woke up last week, I could see dark red streaks and I knew that wasn’t good! You don’t realize how much your eyes work together until something like this happens. Not only is driving a challenge, especially turning, but reading, watching tv and just about everything else!

I’m really hoping this is going to mean my vision is improved and I don’t have to look at this freak show in my eye anymore! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve been about to drink something and have jerked the cup away because I thought a bug or something was in it!

Do you want pics? TOO BAD! I can’t stand to see eye surgery on tv and I’m sure not going to have some of my own, although I am curious as to what it looks like during all the prodding and flashing of light!

Well, that’s it. July 18th, 1 pm. woo-hoo

A group of cat lovers in Shanghai, China, used the internet to collect $1,320 to buy a truck loaded with some 800 cats headed for RESTAURANTS!!! They hope to find homes for them by using their pictures.

In southern China, cat meat is considered a delicacy–what isn’t?–and cats are freshly killed before being cooked! Damn! So, I guess they pick a cat like a lobster. That is just sickening! It didn’t say how they were killed and I’m not sure I want to know. I hope the cats are able to give out some deep bites and scratches!

In another article, parts of China are being overrun by field mice! Kitty karma at work? Maybe they should develop a taste for fried mice on a stick!
