What a great lady!
Best wishes,

Thanks! She *was* a wonderful woman. Never let anything get her down.

Now here's a tale about how her husband got her to date him. She had been
married once before, very young, and her husband died. (She really did have
a sad life but you'd never know it.) So she was living with my grandparents
and her car broke down. This was when she could still see. My uncle Howard
was a mechanic in this tiny town in Ohio, the only garage there was. He was
a mountain of a man; he looked like he was wearing shoulder pads; she was
tall and skinny. Think Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no
lean; except in reverse. So he didn't think she'd go out with him. So he
fixed what was wrong with her car but then "fixed" something else so it
would break so she'd have to bring it back to get it repaired. This went on
for about three trips to the garage before he finally got up the nerve to
ask her out! G Mom tells me when they saw this big guy come in the door
they were all like "WHOA!" Howard was a gentle giant. They were married
over 40 years. Ain't love grand?

The mention of cataracts reminded me of something. My aunt Jean who
lived in Columbus, OH, developed diabetes when she was a teenager,
in the 1930's. She became legally blind when she was in her 20's;

I didn't know that there was an "eye pressure" measurement. It's a
good thing that was fixed.

Isn't that what glaucoma is all about? Too much pressure on the eye?

Yes. The measurement (tonometry) should be part of every routine eye
examination. The newer methods don't even make contact with the surface
of the eye, but do it with light.

Glaucoma is one of those things where early detection is extremely
important, because it can usually be controlled before doing a lot of
damage.

Thank goodness they don't need to wrap little cuffs around your eye to
measure the pressure.

Well, I had to go back to the hospital today for an opinion on my recently
operated upon eye.

We're purring hard for a complete recovery for your eye; we'll add in
some *and hurry it up already* purrs as well.
