We just came from seeing Grampa's eye specialist. They will be doing 4 cornea's on Thursday, so that makes Grampa #12. Appaently when you get this close, they can call you any time because if they get a cornea and call #1. If they are not around, they'll call the next one on the list etc. etc. He has his pre-op medical done and he is good to go.
The only downside to all this is that when I asked if there were restrictions after the operation like lifting or bending, we were told that he could not vacuum or do dishes for at LEAST 8 YEARS!!.
I guess that means I get to hire a maid.
He will only be off work for maybe a week. In about 3 months he will get tested for new glasses. It won't restrict his driving like we had thought. They will do the right eye this time and he has been put on the waiting list for the left eye. Probably a wait of another year.
Thought I'd update everyone at once.
Love,
Gramma
