MORNING ROLL CALL JUNE 2024
Top of the morning to everyone on this 1st day of June 2024.
Happy Birthday to all of our June Birthday member.
Hi Ms. Stretch! @MsStretch
Even tho you may have “been MIA”...you are thought of just the same! I’ve been familiar with Symphony lens (‘Symfony’....Btw: autocorrect doesn’t like the spelling...lol) & had to do some research & found that
they’re supposed to “eliminate areas of blurred vision as your eye shifts focus from far to near and in-between distances. Conversely, most monofocal IOLs are set to distance vision, increasing your reliance on near-vision glasses. Extended vision range after cataract surgery can help with your everyday living in many ways, including:
You can safely drive a car or enjoy watching your kids play in the backyard (excellent distance vision).....read a book or browse the web on your smartphone (good near vision)....work at your computer (intermediate vision range). The continuous scope of high-quality vision provided can reduce your dependence on eyeglasses. While you may still need reading glasses after getting a Symfony IOL, the vision range and quality is superior to multifocal and monofocal IOLs.”
So it was helpful to know your (a real user) experiences! I’m due for some surgery later in the year....so I want to find out as much as I can...& also have to make sure what is covered by insurance 1st!
BTW: I too, have many “dollar store reading glasses I have strategically placed around the home.” LOL! 🤓👀
Anyway....I hope you’ve been doing WELL!
Also... wishing you a Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Take care my friend! 🍀 ☮️ ~Allen 🌈 🍀

Hey, Porch Peeps, @DaveMcK, @Therapist4u, @LaDolceVita, @Frozenoem,
It's been a while since I've been here. No excuse, really, just busy with mundane things...getting taxes ready to take to the preparer, renewing my web security (seems Best Buy is now separating it from the Geek service, and it has to be renewed separately). Then I was going back and forth with voter services trying to make sure my application for a mail in ballot was being processed. It's so annoying that we have to apply every year to get ballots for the year's elections! They mail you an application. You fill it out and send it back. Seems mine was received, awaiting processing, then "not received." Go figure. So, I re-applied online and they finally sent an email that it had been processed and I'd receive the ballot for next month's election. Arrgh!
Still going to PT, too.
Supposedly, according to my stepson, they are finally going to dig out the old and put in my new driveway next week. Looking forward to that aside from the inconvenience of getting in and out of the house and having to park my car somewhere other than the driveway.
So, nothing really exciting going on.
Hope you all are well and looking forward to the spring!
PS...@LaDolceVita ... My daffs are up and I see buds, but no blooms yet. My next-door neighbors have been blooming for a week! Guess it all depends on the type of bulb and the amount of sun. I could use that sauna right about now. Yesterday my physical therapist added another pound to my ankle weights and I really felt the burn. LOL
Hey @catwoman500
Even tho it’s “been a while since [you've] been here”.....what’s most important is that you could be here today (3/8)...& to know that you’re OK...just busy...(seems life has a way to always keep us busier than we want to sometimes...but we just have to plow thru it!)
And then there’s your stepson....what a guy.... to be so helpful! I’m sure the temp inconveniences of waiting to get the driveway finished... will be quickly forgotten ...once you have your new one!
Also, good to know you’re continuing your PT! Even better...to know that your “physical therapist added another pound to [your] ankle weights”.... rather than you simply “added another pound!” (...amiright?) 😄 Hahahaa
Anyway....I hope you’ve been doing WELL!
Also... wishing you a
🍀Happy St. Patrick’s Day! 🍀
Take care!
