Good news indeed! I had cataract surgery a few years ago. Before the replacements I was seeing 3 sets of lines on the highway. Now I see only two!
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar.

Re: slmjim - T-cell lymphoma - we're guardedly optimistic
18 Apr 2026 07:51Surgery was done under waking sedation; a surprisingly-tiny & tasty pill placed under my tongue, that, after 15 minutes or so, turned out to really be The Good S#|T !. At least that's this ol' hippie's take on it.
I had to have a brain MRI last year, and claustrophobia was making it impossible. Your head needs to remain stationary for that, of course, so they velcro you into a chassis that immobilizes your head, shoulders, and arms and then stuff you into the too-small hole of a big metal donut. For the final attempt the Dr provided some really amazing stuff. Not only was the MRI no problem, I was a happy dude the whole afternoon.

...And the personal story of old men continues:
I also had my special regular "check-ups" this week(s)—Endoscopy, ultrasound, and MRI... The result: No signs of a current cancer recurrence; everything is "just" very heavily scarred, and the doctors say it’s a miracle I can still swallow at all
...so everything is fine and dandy for the moment. Onward and upward! ....And the "ride" through life and on the bikes can go on...!

All things considered, that looks like really good news.

Such results are absolutely good news for me! As long as it stays that way, I am perfectly satisfied and happy!(I am always aware that I’ve been living on borrowed time since four years... my ticket had already been stamped...!)

27 Jul 2026 02:36First line - that solid white fog line to lane right should always look, well... solid, regardless of velocity.hardrockminer post=923121 userid=49877Good news indeed! I had cataract surgery a few years ago. Before the replacements I was seeing 3 sets of lines on the highway. Now I see only two!
Second line - that broken white line to lane left starts lookin' mostly solid? Might be time to back off of the loud handle a little before the throttle cables stretch any further.
Good Ridin'

That's funny Nerdy! I didn't consume any drugs during my last MRI, actually almost fell asleep with all the white noise from the machine. I don't sleep well anyway so Power Naps are appreciated ha.
