Thanks I appreciate the link, but, it can get a lot more complex then that. From what I remember when I was briefed on VA coverage, it's sort of like the FP+ process at Epcot. There are different levels of coverage. For example, from what I was told a Vietnam Veteran (one that actually was in Vietnam) is one level, where as a Vietnam era veteran that was never in country, has a different set of benefits. At least that is what I understand about it. I'm not in any hurry, I had this checked out early and all it is right now is just a minor cloudiness in my left eye. With both eyes my vision is still 20/20 (Guess my right eye is doing most of the work and the brain is blocking out the bulk of what the left eye is seeing thru the haze.
I have a call into VA just to ask the question. I also have Medicare and they might be hit up for that procedure. Like I said, other then the "old man" implications, I'm not overly concerned about it. I'll fix it on my own if I have too. I do so hate taking that much from my retirement living expenses though. Heck, I might want a new car someday, unless I let the eye problem go and can't drive anymore. Now that I think of it, that would save a pile of money.

Meds don't help. I'd far rather bounce around a rubber room every now and then--much more fun!

I may use that in as my Avatar at some point, if you don't mind.

Get assessed. Wait 6 weeks. Get the procedure. That is all.
(And Shell out $4.00/gallon for gas to subsidize it.)
(And yes, the "Shell" is an intentional lame pun.)

Well, from what you and @StarWarsGirl95 suggested, he must be jealous when I'm talking to anyone other than him. Meanwhile, sometimes I'll sit on the sofa watching tv for a few hours, and he'll be right at my side the entire time. But the moment the phone rings, he starts making noise. (Then again, perhaps, it's not jealousy, but it's his way of "joining" in the conversation?
)

One of my favorite sayings is.. I hate the process of aging, but, the thought of not aging, I hate even more!

Executive decision made.
Before I go to bed on Sunday night (technically Monday morning), I will shut off the timer for my outdoor Christmas lights. Sunday is my Mom's b'day. No one was a bigger Christmas fan than she was, so I'll leave them up a few more days for her.
And then, I'll let Hubby take them down one day next week.
It's supposed to rain all weekend, so most of the snow wil be swept away anyway.
(Doesn't mean we won't get more though.)
P.S. - I put all the rest of my indoor decorations away today.

The problem is that the eye patch is on the wrong eye. I would hate for people to think that I would put the patch on my good eye and just use the bad one.I think that would be hilarious and make a great avatar for you!!

I like DQ cakes but I don't like the decorating gel/frosting. I usually scrape that off.

I think it's a good idea that you'll finally put away all the lights. That way, you'll have months of happy anticipation, just thinking about how excited you'll be, when you get to put them up for Christmas 2015!

They sell those at our grocery store for $1.

Keep it up, Buddy, and I will poke you in your good eye.
(Nah, we both know that I won't. But I'll think about it!)

I've rarely seen that brand out here, but I like the mini ice cream sizes, because once I finish, that's it. No more ice cream. If I buy a whole pint of say, Ben & Jerry's, it's hard to resist eating almost half of that in one sitting!!
