RHODA'S EYES & Dingaling #2

As noted yesterday, we went to see Rhoda's opthalmologist to make an appointment for cataract surgery. He said that the cornea in her left eye is deteriorating; but we knew that because she has lost most of the sight in that eye. That is why it's very stressful to go through the same procedure on her other eye. However, the doctor said it has to be done, and so it shall, and hopefully, it will help her to read and see things much better than she does now. The surgery is scheduled for October 4. While I was in the waiting room with nothing good to read, I decided to call Mike H. (who played Pickering in My Fair Lady). However, I did not have his telephone number, so on my cell, I tried to remember a phone number whereby you could get free information. I thought it was 1 800 FREE 411, and that's what I dialed. After a couple of rings I heard this: "Hi, how are you honey? Just use your imagination. What would you like me to do? I can fulfill your wildest fantasy..., etc., etc." I decided that there was no way I was going to get Mike's number from her...and I had completely forgotten to bring any Viagra with me. I still went ahead with my plan to speak to Mike, so I just went ahead and dialed 411 and paid the damn $ or whatever. Turns out, Rhoda told me, that the number I should have dialed was 1 800 411 FREE! Go know.

...I'm glad Rhoda is having the surgery. I just know it will be smooth this time. Is it on a Saturday?
