Andrew, I have to agree with you, but for £500 with Anne giving the A-n-e-s-t-h-e-t-i-c, as well, the offer is almost too good to refuse, especially with the whisky thrown in.

Louise and Anne, how about two for the price of one?

Oh, was the Whisky for you? I thought that was to steady Louise's hand.

LOL!!! I think the whiskey was to knock him out but Louise might nab half of it before then!!! :lol:

Andrew so glad to hear that you have got a date for surgery so quick!! That is wonderful news! Hehe had to laugh about the Valentines joke and nurses though!!! :roll: :twisted:

Michael, i think that you have made a well informed choice on having it done privately. You are lucky to have insurance and your eyesight is worth a lot more than money!

Hopefully you will both get excellent vision straight away!! Not as long a recovery as KC grafts!!!

Hi Sweet, yes, I think you are right about the whisky but that's assuming Anne doesn't get to it first!

I have decided to resist their kind offers and so my cataract will be done on 30 January. I had to beat Andrew to it!

Of course Andrew is having his done on his grafted eye so thankfully he is over the worst.

I am optimistic that this procedure will confirm that I am nowhere near needing a graft and at last put my mind at rest.

Michael

All the best on January 30. At least you get Burns night before your surgery, when you can sample the whisky Anne was promising.

The whiskey is part of Anne's anaesthesia [with the mallet] as I prefer cognac to steady my hand, and yep we'll do the two for £500 - bargain!

James, Oh well!

Louise Your offer of two for £500 may seem like a bargain to Michael, but I'm getting mine done FREE.

When the NHS works it is wonderful.
