The bills just keep rolling in, and I went to the optometrist yesterday.

With the addition of the bill that arrived in yesterday's mail, I owe $10,660-- or $14,260. Why the discrepancy? Because I've misplaced a bill and can't remember whether it was for $400 or $4000. I know that's a big bill to lose, but I'm sure they'll send another one. I do know who it was from, I just can't remember the amount.

In spite of this, I suppose I need to get busy seeing about getting this cataract taken care of. It's affecting my life pretty badly.

I had my optometrist appointment yesterday. He said my left eye has a "very dense" cataract. My right eye is much better than I thought. He said it could be years before I would need to have anything done to it, if it weren't for the cataract in the other eye. He explained that when they replace the lens they will try to correct my nearsightedness as much as possible, but that this will cause me to have bad double-vision until the other lens is replaced. He said it will make me miserable until then, so he recommends having them both done.

The other option was to replace the left lens with a lens that matches my current vision, but he thinks that would be a mistake I would regret, and I agree.

So this morning I called the cataract surgeons recommended by the retina surgeon. The ones he said take my insurance and are very good at working with people on the costs and payment.

Turns out they don't take my insurance after all.

So I put in a call to the retina surgeon again to ask about other surgeons he recommends. I'm waiting to hear back from him.

I hate to add more medical bills to the pile, but I really need to get this taken care of.

That's where things stand as of now.
