Surgery went well, I’m told

Surgery went well, I’m told

I had my strabismus surgery 2½ hours ago, and all went well. (Of course, the surgeon *would* say that!) I’m including a photo, as is traditional here on r/strabismus. I’ll send another once that eyelid is no longer stuck shut….

Wish me well!

I’ve (M73) had mild strabismus for decades, with prismatic correction added to my eyeglasses about four years ago. Things have been getting worse—or at least more noticeable—following cataract surgery last year, so I’m having strabismus surgery (OD) tomorrow. The surgeon kept explaining that the chances of loss of vision are only 1:50000; I added that a chatty anaesthologist friend of mine likes to include the odds of, say, loss of life from general OR problems….

But I digress.

Anyway, I’m having surgery tomorrow. I’ll tell you how it goes.

“Recent construction in Montgomery TX”

A year or so ago I posted photos of this “interesting” house under construction in Montgomery TX.

https://www.reddit.com/r/McMansionHell/s/IYt01Lc4zg

I got pushback from some commenters saying such a house seemed highly unlikely, and must be AI-generated. As If!

I’m back in Montgomery this weekend, and can report it’s finally completed and occupied. They’ve even build a brick wall to keep the curious at a safe distance.

I’m impressed that the roof-top copper is still so shiny. The urchins from adjoining poor neighborhoods must be really earning their nickels every month climbing up and polishing it.

That is all.

And Rita’s (still) available!

Good to know on a lonely night in Montgomery TX….
