Richo, I thought poor eyesight was a pre-requisite for that job?  :crackup

 I would make a fantastic umpire. I know buggerall about the game, and could not name more than maybe 3 teams, and have no idea of team colours, or from which state the teams are from.

I am sorry Kev but with that extensive knowledge you would be ineligible for umpiring.  In order to to that job you have to have no idea at all

:like Thanks, guys. The optico painted a far more grim picture, and it seems I was being stressed out for little reason.
 

Hey Kev,

It sounds like we might suffer from some of the same conditions, eg. cataracts (as mentioned above), although mine were more advanced than yours, and old age, but you are more advanced from me on that one.

Hope you don't have the same hearing problem I have.  I have two types of deafness; one real, the other selective.  The selective one can be a problem, often I don't hear what I don't want to hear and that is bad news from the doctor.  I would get home from the GP or the cardio specialist, Helen would ask how things went, usually I hadn't listened well enough (to the Doc) to tell her anything useful. 

Result is now Helen attends the GP or specialist if I'm attending on anything important, she hears everything the Docs have to say, she also know to ask a lot more questions that I would.

So if you have someone, preferably female, to attend some of your appointments with you ........... just me thinking out loud.



Cheers,  Williamson (AKA Michael)

No hearing problems for me Michael, and I tend to steer clear of females if at all possible, lol.

Exactly the same, mine would ask how did it go and I would say "Howd what go" . She soon started following me to all appointments. That was good too, stopped me asking why am I here. Just a bit more of OCD . True story, drove her nuts when I had no answers... :grin :wht11

Mrs Glimt is from a medical background so she likes to ask questions too.  Often all I hear is a random number but to her it actually means something.

Hi Kev,

Get on that list and push as much as you can to get to the top of the list.  :angry-old-man-smiley-emoticon

As was said, you've paid your taxes & you've also served this country. Any Veteran's assistance you can get?

Hope to hear some good news from you.

Cheers

All good as far as bike goes, just need some time to put it together. It's stored a few blocks away from home, and it's too far for me to walk there.

Fingers crossed for you Kev. I also have two types of deafness but cant hear the cure. I did catch a bit of cost then found my feet were moving in rapid succession out the door. What's that you say?

All sorted with DVA, am on waiting list for cataracts to be seen to... went back to the dentist last week, but she said I am a slow healer and gums not ready for new teeth yet, has postponed fitting for another couple of months.
That steak I have been craving is still far away, will be 12 months since I have eaten one.  :||||
