Living in an "end of the road" town, has its drawbacks...Nearest town of any size is LaGrande, Oregon, 70 miles away or Lewiston, Idaho, 80 miles away...We have good medical facilities here and one of the best small hospitals in the state, but for specialists we have to travel to a larger city...Herb and I both need an opthamologist for eye treatment, so we make regular trips to LaGrande...An early morning cataract surgery had us on the road at 4:30am, at the Grande Rhonde Hospital at 6:15 (half hour early for 6:45 check in) and Herb was soon dressed in the infamous, backless, gown, waiting...The endless questions, eye drops etc took way more time than surgery, he was back in his recovery room in less than an hour...We left the hospital shortly after 10am, home by noon!
After a good nights sleep, we are up and ready to hit the road again, for a 9am follow up appointment, on the first eye...We will repeat all of this in about two weeks for the second eye...I have more news but it will have to wait until tomorrow...Hugs To All...OWAV:)
