Cataract surgery in both eyes came out great. I didn't know the world was so bright and colorful. I complained that it seems as though I often feel some irritable thing in my right eye, and Lo, they looked and informed me that my lower lid has some eye lashes growing backwards. I said that's weird, and they said no, it's quite common and informed me it's some long name I can't pronounce. Still think it's wierd, but next week I go to a specialist who'll pluck them and correct my situation. Talk about medical specialists! But they still can't correct my astigmatism, which means every darn page of sheet music I use has to be enlarged. Even so, they say I don't look like I'm eighty-seven, and I reply "You ought to see the world from my side of the eyeballs!" Lotsa luck. Best, John

John, it's great to hear your cataract surgery went well.  Thanks for the update.     (did they use the word "entropion"?)

Happy for you John, I have always worked with tools and remember listening to "protect your eyes". Glad that everything is working out.

Thanks, all. Visited the eyelash specialist and he said the lower eyelid had sagged due to age. With sagging it turns either out or in. Mine turned in, which he said was fortunate. I don't think so. If I'd been fortunate, the darned lid wouldn't have sagged at all. So, long 'bout the end of April I have to have eyelid surgery, where he insert some suture and string it up like a hammock, so it'll be tight and not sag. Lotsa luck.

John - If I have to get old (and I am well on my way there) - I want to grow old like you.

You are one of my guitar heroes!

Here's to long life and sagging eyelids!

Actually, Sandy, our friend John has written a book, a novel as I recall.  I tried to find a link to it but failed.  John must have posted about it over at the old forum.  Hopefully he will get back to us here and post information on it again.

I would Love to Read his Novel, but i would also Love to Read a Book of His Music Knowledge......Every Time he lends his Knowledge to a Question it makes me Smile. A Book based on His Collection of Replies would even be Interesting.

Right After I Posted this, I read one of the Questions in this Section and WHO did I find with an ANSWER? None Other than Mr. John Wells......here is the Quote in Answer to the Question:

Why are Guitars called Dreadnoughts?

As an old sailor, I know that the HMS DreadnOught was a revolution in warship design. Nothing else could match its design and firepower from its large guns. The same can be said for the dreadnAught guitar.Lotsa luck.

If That didn't Make You Smile...Nothing Will.
