Katie, I hope the gall bladder problem can be cleared up soon. I understand they can hit the stone with sonic waves to disintegrate them?

My eyes are getting fuzzy, even though I had cataract surgery (new plastic lenses) 2 1/2 years ago.
I went back to that eye clinic a few days ago, and they said it was because the muscle behind the new lenses had thickened, and moved them a tad, thus making my vision fuzzy.
Meanwhile, Australia has banned elective surgery in hospitals while the health system deals with Covid, but as the eye clinic is not a hospital, they're exempt, so they made an appointment for next May, to use a laser beam to erode the muscle and 'instantly' restore my vision.
.
Then yesterday they phoned to bring my appointment forward, to 10th Feb.
As we were finishing, I asked the reason for it being brought forward, and she said it's because they were being inundated with people transferring from hospital surgery, which in in the elective-surgery ban, to the clinic, so they decided to open the laser room full time instead of two days per week, because eye doctors are available in plenty of numbers, as they can no longer do their work in hospitals.
Then she asked why I was asking.
I said it was because my vivid imagination thought of one of their clinicians reviewing all last week's test results, and yelling, "oh my god - get that Hepworth guy back in PRONTO"
As I hung up, she was still convulsing with laughter.
