SURPRISE!

       The micro Manager had her cataract surgery on Monday and everything went very well. You are left feeling somewhat fatigued from the anesthetic. You  go to the surgeon the next morning at 8 AM for a check up. He pronounced her as very good.

      So we had planned ahead as  to how things would be done. I would do the cooking and put in the eyedrops. It's not really working that way but things are being looked after. 

     I was out shovelling today  when next door neighbor D crossed the fence. She was carrying a few containers and she told me that they were for the next too suppers. What a gift. It beats the beans on toast that was my menu. So there was a container of pasta and one of beef dip. So taking one look at the containers I said there's enough for 2 meals in each container.

    There's always a great visit when D comes over.

    So I asked how D knew that the surgery had been done. We didn't tell you. She said "I read it on your blog." Well that just blew my mind. I am always surprised when locals read the blog.

   While I was shovelling I noticed D take some containers to her truck. I thought  some people are going to be treated with some of D's treats. Two minutes later D was at my door with the containers.

  2. Nice neighbors! Glad surgery went ok. Keep up with the eye drops; they prevent infection and usually keep any swelling feeling at a minimum. Linda in Kansas

  4. I am pleased to hear that Jean's eye surgery went well and it's nice to hear that you have kind neighbours like D. So D reads this blog does she? Hello D! Nice to meet you my dear! And good on you for feeding Mr and Mrs Kline. By the way, what does the D stand for? Deidre...Desdemona...Dorothy...Dympna...Dolores...Dawn...I can't think of any more D names for women.

  8. I'm glad the surgery went well. How lovely to have a helpful neighbour who follows your blog. Beans on toast is a healthy option, but can get a little stale after a couple of days.

  11. Now this is sounding much more positive! Good.
    I sometimes realize that I have no idea who locally or what family members read my blog. Most of them are lurkers who never comment.

  12. I'm glad you're being looked after by your generous neighbors! I'm always surprised when I hear anyone reads my blog. It's easy to forget we're putting this stuff out there in public!

  13. The Micro Manager’s seeing bright,
    Her surgeon says, “All’s looking right!”
    You planned to cook and drip with care—
    But Neighbor D was already there!

  21. So happy to hear the surgery went well. The Micro Manager will hopefully be less anxious about the other eye when the time comes. Good neighbours are a wonderful thing. I bet you have a history of being a good neighbour too.
