haven't been on site in long time. I turned 65 in April and had to go to Boston for eye surgery in May;

I had a precancerous lesion that needed to be removed. my previous eye surgeon did not want to do it because it involved a graft and she hasn't done very many. Thankfully all went well and I healed well. In August I had emergency gall bladder surgery. I went in on a Sun. but wasn't operated on until thurs. because I'm on the blood thinner eliquis and had to get that out of my system first. the 45 min. surgery took 21/2 hrs.my Dr. said it was" grossly infected and inflamed..." yuck the staff was wonderful, my fellow patients were not! While waiting for surgery one patient put tv on at 4:15 A.M. I didn't say anything until the next morning when it went on at 4:30 AM and asked to have it turned down. There was a lot of drama going on including a different roommate whose daughter was using our shower to get ready for going out partying. on my way to surgery I overheard a nurse say they had a difficult patient who needed to be moved; guess whose room she went to.my blood pressure went very high and they almost didn't let me go home the next day. I told them I thought I was at risk for another stroke if I didn't get home.My cardiologist had to intervene wen heart rate went to 135 resting and bp was going nuts. thankfully after a lot of hassle all went well . Next in line is a Nov. colonoscopy which I delayed from my Sept. app"t.I don' want to wish my life away but I can hardly wait for 65 to be over . I haven't been using my computer much since getting an ipad for my birthday and first operation >

hopefully I can get my stroke network on it now that I hopefully have my password straightened out.I have a lot of reading and catching up to do. I hope you are all doing well and improving. blessings lynn
