You know the rule. Find the toughest kid and beat him up on the playground. Then nobody will give you any trouble.

Tarnation! In the past two weeks I've been informed that I need hearing aids and now that I have cataracts in both eyes. I'm starting to wonder if I'm really immortal.
The good news is that they said the cataracts are tiny and that I won't need surgery for "15 or 20 years". But still, I've got a clock ticking on them now. |

That's what I hear. I also hear that cataracts are nearly a 100 percent certainty if you live long enough, so I wasn't too upset about it. I was kind of hoping that maybe I'd be the exception to the rule, though, and it was a surprise to hear since it was just a routine exam. |

Mine progressed pretty fast over several months from the initial eye exam. Aside from the improved vision was the return of vibrant colors. It's one of those things you would never notice until it happens. I noticed the difference after my first eye was done and could compare it to my "old" eye. It was clarity vs. looking through a dirty yellow lens. Game changer. |

BTW....getting hearing aids has a down side. You can't pretend you don't hear the wife, kids and well intentioned friends when they complain to you or ask you to do something for them. |
