Jim

Well, our time frame was much like Pati's.  We got to the office and waited an hour or so.  Then they called him in, but that was just for the nurse to look at him.  Then we sat in another area for 15 minutes or so and the doctor called him in.  About 3 minutes later we were done.  There are 2 surgeries the doctor was prepared to do.  The one we expected was his second choice.  That was to remove some flesh from his eyelids so they don't droop down. The first choice, was his eyebrows.  It seems his eyebrows have fallen down and now sit over his eyes.  The doctor will make a slit in his forehead and raise his eyebrows back to where they belong. IF Manitoba medical covers anything they will only cover one surgery.  The second is about $1800 (we're not sure if that is for both or per eye)  Now we have to wait to see if Medical will cover it.  Jim has substantial loss of  peripheral vision in both eyes.  Other than that it was in and out.  Didn't even stop in Winnipeg.  Had a hamburger in Portage and picked up dog bones in Gladstone and then on to home.  A very exciting day. It has been so warm here we have slush during the day, then the ruts freese at night and in the morning it is all ruts and bumps until it thaws again.  The snow is really going down.  Makes me wonder what is coming next?
