Question

Tax Tip Number 4,167,111

Through trial and error, I have found that March 23rd isn't the best day to have cataract surgery for anyone in the tax profession.  I had the surgery done yesterday morning and I am currently walking around with a pirate patch ----------- at least until my doctor visit later this morning.  My vision in the repaired eye was so good that I couldn't see the bottle of eye drops I needed to put in at noon yesterday.  I had to recruit my wife to put the drops in.  I also learned that your depth perception isn't quite as good with only one eye -------- who would have ever thought of that.  Aye matey, shiver me timbers and back to work.  Well at least one eye is going back to work.  But even with one eye I can see that 8915F is still the favorite topic here.  I just hope rcooley wasn't up too late last night dancing in the streets. 🕺

Congrats and sympathy!

You're getting the other eye done, too?

Once it's all over you'll be loving it. I had mine done about 2 1/2 years ago. At least mine was done in August so I didn't have the tax season issue.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Just got back from the eye doc.  Ashley's pirate ship sailed without me since I am a pirate no more.  My cornea is a little swollen so that is the reason for my blurry vision, but that has already improved a lot since yesterday.  I had the surgery done yesterday morning and was back to work by noon.  The vision was really wonky in my right eye so I didn't care when they could do it, I was getting it done no matter what the date was.  The other eye isn't scheduled until the end of May so I can focus (I use that term loosely since the blurry vision in that eye makes focusing a little difficult) on cranking out returns.

I may or may not resemble that remark! I miss you guys too and hate to hear you've gone through surgery... There's no good time but definitely any time in tax season! I hope all is well with you guys and again, sure do miss you all!
