@hsminc listening as a hip may be in my future…however, I just had cataract surgery this week on one eye. The other was last year. They did not put me under general anesthesia. They only lightly sedate. I was out of OR in ten minutes and in an out totally in two hours. And I have smoldering multiple myeloma, no longer MGUS. Eye doc agreed it’s was best to get it done now in case I progress to the point I couldn’t gave it done. This doesn’t get better, it only gets worse (cataracts). You will be amazed once those cataracts are gone!
