(Now, be honest, while you were there, did you take apart all the defibs to see if there really was a 65c02 in there? Or the machine that goes beep?)

One of our sons is that way, but although he fixes everything, he never had any interest in designing anything. I OTOH like designing and making and programming but hate fixing things. He is more socially adept than I.

Good to hear that you are recovering well, and that you're up to posting again.

I have to go through all this again in less than two weeks. Left eye is far worse than the right one.

I made it okay through the second round of eye surgery and am on the mend. Things are literally looking better.

Congratulations! I am confident things will continue to improve! We are all fortunate to be living now and in places where we can get ourselves fixed...

Yep, for distance vision.

I can now lean back in my chair and clearly see the video monitor screens without the need for glasses. Big improvement.

That's better than what I can do. I am envious!

Anyway, good news. Sometimes eye issues just develop over time, and we cope to when we break down and have them looked at and fixed (glasses, surgery, etc.) And "suddenly" much clearer, "this is MUCH better", and our quality of life that we have been unconsciously compensating for is much improved.

Glad to here things went well and are improving.

It's the "shock absorber syndrome." Shock absorbers (dampers in the UK and other places) wear slowly and the deleterious effect on the vehicle's ride and handling comes on very slowly. When the shocks are finally replaced the car owner is amazed at the improvement in the vehicle's behavior.

Thanks. There is an issue with the right eye, evidently caused by slow healing of the cornea. I'm not able to drive because a new glasses prescription can't be written until the eye is sorted out. It'll be several weeks before that happens.
