    Oh Karen, Dave deserves a stout or a fancy IPA instead of those blue collar beers! The things we put up with before we fix them!!!
    Since 1982 I have put up with slight curled toes after our motorcycle accident in which I had a bird cage, fiberglass cast, & a brace later on for over a year. 42 years later I still trip over my right toes from time to time as my tight tendons that never stretched back out again are still there. The remedy was to break all 5 toes to realign them, but chicken & tender finances is my middle name, lol. Maybe I never fixed it because old age caught up in 33 other places in my body, lol!!!
    We won't even go into Sheila's injuries during the same accident, however breaking her arm last winter should get all four of us a case of Ireland's finest. One day we will meet up with you guys & share a shot of Jameson, lol.
    Cheers,
    Davey & Sheila Knapp

  • @silaslongshot941
    @silaslongshot941 Місяць тому +1

    Gonna have that done in about 3 weeks. Ptosis (droopy eyelids) in my case is causing vertical double vision because the eyelid droop is causing a "wrinkle" in the clear cornea which distorts the vision upwards, so as I approach a traffic light that's green, I see the real green light, but there's a fake image of another green light where the yellow is supposed to be. I have NO detail vision because of this, reading is mostly gone, can't read street signs, etc. Looking ahead with heavy dread and anticipation for this to do the trick with normal vision again.

    • @WattsOnWheels
      @WattsOnWheels  Місяць тому +1

      Hope all goes well. It's tough when you can't read the signs. Karen just had a vitreous (liquid in eye) detachment from the retina. Her vision now has huge floaters and everything is cloudy in that eye. They say it could take months to clear up if it does at all. It's always something.

    Give it time. Healing takes longer as you get older. I think Glenn Beck just had this done a few weeks ago and he didn't get back to work as fast as he was told he would. I've had six hand surgeries in the last 17 months and each surgery which were minor(4 trigger finger and 2 carpel tunnel). Typically 6 week recovery but at 73 yo I'd day it's more like 3 to 4 months and certain adpects of the carpel tunnel procedure takes months longer than that. At 1 year from the 1st carpel tunnel surgery I felt like the ability to do weight bearing on my wrist(like pushing down to get up off the floor), progressively got better every week/month. I don't regret mine at all. Having work done around the eyes would be scary. I looking at cataract surgery in the not to distant future. Safe travels.

    • @WattsOnWheels
      @WattsOnWheels  Місяць тому

      You are so right. Things just aren't the same. I'm working on a welding project right now (future video) and it's kicking my ass. My eyes are good now and glad I did it. Karen had carpal tunnel surgery and trigger finger years ago and yep, healing is much faster. I know she's going to have to get cataract surgery eventually too. She's hoping she won't have to get the other knee done, but time will tell.
