Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
Even though we didn’t like
the idea we had to set the alarm last night to make certain we were awake by
8:00 this morning. We only turned one computer on as we ate our breakfast so we
could check out the local weather forecast before heading out. We even got
dressed while our Coffees were
cooling slightly on the dining table.
It was only 9:15 when we
were driving out of the Park headed for Windsor. Even though our
appointments were for 10:00 we needed to be there at least Fifteen Minutes ahead of time. Both Kathy and I have been having issues
with Cataracts which has cause some
challenging moments for the both of us. Last year I had a severe episode and
after consulting with our Optometrist he
sent me to another specialist who didn’t do anything for me but give me a Doom & Gloom outlook because I have
had Lasik Eye Surgery almost Twenty Years ago. When we went for our
yearly eye exams this spring our Optometrist
booked us both for a consult.
Today’s visit was with Dr. Tayfour who basically wrote the
book on Laser Eye Surgery and is
world known. He was so skilled at his trade that he actually performed Lasik Eye Surgery on Fidel Castro many years ago. It was
past 11:30 by the time we left his office having completed the necessary exams
and tests. He was very reassuring that there would be no problems for either of
our surgeries.
The only problem we had was
from the Dilation of our eyes. With the
sun shining brightly outside our Sunglasses
and Hats were not enough to allow us
to leave the building. We were lucky to find that there was a small Lunch Bar inside the building. We both ordered toasted Egg Sandwiches, Hot Chocolates and a Homemade
Pecan Tart. Everything was delicious and it gave our eyes time to clear a
bit. It seems as the years pass it takes longer for the effects to wear off.
Once my eyes had cleared
enough to safely drive I cautiously drove over to Guardian Storage. We were once
again disappointed that an important document we are waiting for was not in our
Mailbox. We then drove back to our Climate Controlled Storage Unit where
we shopped for somethings we had stored.
Our next stop was Princess Auto where I spent time looking for replacement Relays. Manufactures have changed the
style of these simple devices just so they could increase their cost. When I balked
at not needing the excess wiring that came with the new designs I was directed over
to the Surplus Area of the store where
I found them. Last winter while in Deming, New Mexico it
cost Fifteen Dollars each for these Relays. Today it only cost me Four Dollars each so I purchased a few
more as spares.
We managed to get Home
by 2:00 but the ride had Kathy feeling sick to her stomach because her eyes
were not yet back to normal. Even my own were still not back to normal but at
least I managed a few chores inside.
Stephanie from Leisure Trailer had called with her latest information from Jayco.
What they are saying is we have to totally empty any personal items out so they
can work on it for Liability Purposes.
Let’s just say I was on the phone with Jayco for nearly an hour getting them to
figure out what they are saying.
Kathy made us a Caesar Salad topped with Chicken for supper and we added to our
carbs by having a small piece of Black
Forest Cake for dessert.
We have more appointments
tomorrow and according to the Local
Weather Guessers we can expect a bit of moisture from the last of Irma. Thanks for following along and feel free
to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

I don't get these RV manufacturers. They make the RVs for fulltimers but they don't make it easy when you have a repair. We had our cracked frame fixed at a Campingworld that had a RV park attached to it. If you were having a repair done you could stay for free. Campingworld needed 3 days for the repair and said they could give it back to us every night. We decided to just let them keep it and we went and visited family. I can't believe they are making a huge project out of it. Goodluck
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a nightmare, having to empty your personal things, your life in other words. Oh my, I do wish you good luck while they sort it out.
ReplyDeleteI know what you went through with your eyes.
ReplyDeleteNancy had the cataract eye surgery this past spring. Its a nightmare when you have to have work done on a recreational vechicle.
My Ex just had cataract surgery and it was a breeze, of course he was nervous, but now that the first one is done, he's looking forward to having the second one done and over with. Clearing out all your personal belongings!? Don't they trust their workers? Good Grief! I'd never agree to that - where in the world would I put everything? That's just not reasonable on their part. Good luck with everything! :)
ReplyDeleteGood Luck with your eye surgeries. I think everyone in the Detroit area is also familiar with Dr. Tayfour's name. I'm actually surprised he's still practicing, but you should be in good hands! I'm afraid Tom is going to be in the same boat someday - he also had lasik about 17 years ago. Good Luck with Jayco - I'm really surprised with what they are telling you. We have always had much better luck with the RV Manufacturers that we've dealt with - we'd much rather go to them over a dealer for service!
ReplyDeleteSounds like Jayco will not be on my list for any RV's in the future.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your eye appointments were promising, hope everything goes well!
