You're way too young for that, Tim.
My mother was close to 90 when she had her operation. She paid the
$200.00 extra for the soft lenses. The older hard type were no
charge...as was the operation.


I had mine done about five years ago, one eye at a time, about six
months apart. My union's insurance paid for most of it, but I had
about a $250 out of pocket each time. Each time, had it done one
day, came back the next for the eye doc to check out the job. Doc
was playing Mozart in the operating room.

Mine cost me about 5g.

That's what the charge would have been for my Lasik decades ago.
But I
ended up not having an out of pocket, since my insurance paid 80% and
as I was the second member of the family to be treated by the same
doc, I got a 20% discount. So I ended up getting the surgery for zero
out of pocket. Sweet, eh?*

Apparently I wasn't* treated as a charity case.

Sure you were...the Navy took you in in spite of your mental
deficiencies.

Given the fact that the army wouldn't even take you when you offered
yourself up to them, (according to your story) what does that say
about you.?


The army never had a chance to "take me" when I was of draft age
because like most young men of my age back then, I wasn't drafted.

Perhaps you were drafted but were tossed aside for reasons you are too
embarrassed to admit.
Entirely possible and plausable.


You seem to have difficulties understanding the phrase "...like most
young men of my age back then, I wasn't drafted."

The difficulty I have is believing you...
