sinanjuSo last week I saw my eye doctor and scheduled cataract surgery on my right eye. Earlier this week I got a bunch of appointments with my eye doctor in MyChart. I called to ask what that was about.
Turns out, they also scheduled the left eye about a month later, plus the follow-up visits for *that* procedure at the same time they scheduled the first set. Which, okay, I wanted to get both eyes done as soon as possible, and now the second eye is scheduled to be done on December 6th.
But that was news to me! I'm gonna be taking a lot of sick time off in the next two months. One day each for the surgeries (which may not be strictly necessary, but...) plus time for several follow-up appointments. Oy. I should be able to make up a lot of the time by doing longer days on those weeks, which is good. I want to keep a cushion of sick time in case I, you know, get sick this winter.
