That's entirely up to the VA but I gotta lose 40 pounds first.

I was diagnosed with catracts in both eyes Wednesday.  My retina
specialist recommended surgery but he did say that they (the VA) may
just give me a new pair of glasses instead since the cataracts are very
small.  Thankfully, the diabetes in my eyes is doing better than the
rest of me...

DD> As "snooty" as he used to try to be, I miss the scutter.

I remember when he left the echo, he sent me an email crying about how
Fido was outdated and he is on some mailing list now.

I reminded him that email predated Fido by 14 years.  Never heard from
him again.
