Been noticing it takes more light for me to see things. Had an eye test and couldn't read any of the lines. Doc told me a couple years ago it wouldn't be long and now it's time. Going to have the left eye done tomorrow and the right in two weeks. Oh the joys of getting older lol

Had mine removed a couple of years ago, it wasn't that big of a deal. Now, with them removed, and the correction, I don't need glasses any more. Well except for readers, and VA provided them.

Dad says he was shocked about how casual the procedure was.

The wife had it done about a year ago. She has a really low pain tolerance and she never complained. So I think it must be an easy procedure.

Not too worried as it's just more of an inconvenience than anything.
The whole pain thing is funny to me. Doctors ask what is your pain based on one not much and 10 the most. I tell them I was a carpenter all my life and a hammer to my thumb is about a 2 but they'd pee their pants. lol

Pain is a funny thing. Yeah I have toughed it out many a time. I went to the dentist last week and they had to give me a pain shot. They went pretty deep. A week later, my jaw still hurts and I can hardly stand to touch a certain area of my chin. My doctors license plate says "painless" and I told him painless my arse.

Ear and tooth pain are two that seem worse than any other.

Had an old sourdough tell me once that he could tough out a broken arm or leg but a toothache would bring him down the mountain to town.

Lots of hoopla for a procedure that takes 15 minutes.

Dad said the Dr said they did about 12 a day.

My VA Doc's go crazy when I get a colonoscopy without any anesthesia.
