Friday morning we were up before five as we prepared to take Donna in for her cataract removal and lens replacement. In the past Donna has not fared well with surgery. Although we are very careful to select the most highly recommended surgeons available, she has consistently been among the 10% that have complications or less than expected improvements. We had a lot of doubt and concern going into this. It seems everything at the surgery center was running behind schedule so we were there much longer than we had expected. It was well into the afternoon before we got home and settled. By the time we were both exhausted. The heavy snow starting before we got home Friday and continuing all day Saturday. Then Saturday morning we went sledding in my car back to the doctors office for a followup. Everything appears to be very, very good. Sunday we both slept in and missed church, then made a much needed trip to get groceries and grab a bite to eat. Sitting at the pub Donna looked up at the TV and read the score of the playoff game without glasses while I could not see it clearly with mine on. We are very enthusiastic.
I did spend a little time over the weekend writing up clues for a few letterboxes that I will put out whenever the weather will permit. I can't take the cold anymore with my stressed out heart, so nothing is likely to occur until it is above freezing. The one I will probably plant first is "Berea - Its a Lou Lou". Lou Groza was a Berea resident for many years. He and his estate have provided significant funding to Berea city recreation so this seems appropriate.

I met Lou Groza a few times. He used to come into the pharmacy when I worked there. He was quite a local celebrity.
