Me, for an Open MRI leading to possible spinal surgery. After lunch, I have an appointment and examination/evaluation leading to surgical removal of my cataracts (one eye at a time) In the course of the day, Mrs. Oldgringo will get her hair done and we'll eat lunch at Cheng's Chinese Bistro.
While growing old is a privilege denied to many, it definitely ain't for sissies. You youngsters might as well get braced, it'll be here before you know it.

Had my spinal surgery back in '04 - fusion/discectomy at L4/L5, with the titanium rods and screws. They actually removed parts of my vertebrae and used cadaver bone implants and harvested my own stem cells from my pelvis to fill in around the implants. Heck of a thing.

Had something done to my back, also between L4/L5 while in Houston circa 1998. I'm gonna' have something else done, again L4/L5, after my eyeballs heal and my electrolytes stabilize. We're now into the holiday season, so this back surgery will be after the first of the year. Gittin' old ain't for sissies.
Hang in there OM!
Don't shoot your eye out!
