Back before I knew body shops were only for cars, I was looking forward to getting older. I exercise in the pool, so my knees and hips are okay (for now, anyway.) I highly recommend cataract surgery. It's painless, minimally inconvenient, and does help improve your eyesight. I was terrified at the thought of someone coming at my eyes, but the doctor goes in through the side; you never see a thing. You don't feel anything because your eye has been completely numb, and you're in twilight sleep. After the operation, you can go out to lunch with the person who drove you. I'll be taking my husband for his next month. Do it!
