Another update: I am still scheduled for the cataract surgery on Friday, February 1. I still do not have someone to drive me there and back home. I asked the doctor's office to check into the free van the hospital has for transportation to surgery. They are supposed to call me today or tomorrow. The person at the doctor's office thought I would still need someone to meet me there before surgery and accompany me home. I have friends willing to take shifts after that, but have to wait until hospital calls to ask if I can do that
