Nov 14-23 More Deer Lease and a New Eye

The deer lease got a little less crowded as some folks had to head back to work. We still ate pretty good as Lavonna was still there and she cooked every night. No way to lose  weight at Mack Creek. It finally got some cold weather and I decided that I like cool weather better. Lots of wind and rain for a couple of days.I went to Kristi's one day to babysit Sammi. Kristi had volunteered to help at Kenna"s school for "Patriots Day".  What she didn't realize was it was all day and in to the evening. One nice thing about having a deer lease close to home is that I can run and do a few things from time to time.I went home on the 19 th and we went the next day to do my cataract surgery. It was an interesting experience, didn't take long and we headed back to Kristi's to spend the night. The next day I could see pretty good as we went for my post op. My vision was already 20/30. They said I was doing great except for a little high pressure.As the swelling in my  eye goes down everything will become clearer. I still will need cheaters for reading but probably nothing for distance .3 days out and my right eye is the dominant  eye. My next surgery will be Dec 3 for my neck. I hope to go back to the deer lease after Thanksgiving and try my new eye out on some deer.

NOV 12, 2014 DEER SEASON

Its been awhile since my last post. I dont update much when we are not traveling. We have been at the deer lease most of the time.  My neck upper back issues never got better so I now have surgery scheduled for Dec 3. In the meantime I found out that I have cataracts in both eyes.  Now I have to do cataract surgery around   my neck surgery. I am going to get my right eye done on Nov 20 and the right eye on Dec 18. Trying to get all this done since we will begin to hit the road after Christmas. We have had a good time at the lease and even managed to kill a few deer.
