Jackie will be going to have a cataract removed from her eye tomorrow.
She says the world looks foggy, but as we all know Jackie can see things better than most of us. She is working her buns off today at work and has a lot to do tonight. They will be making her sight better in the morning.

I thought it would be nice to start now and send her good vibes. She is always sending us good ones.

As most of you know Jackie is my best friends. Jackie is the kind of friend you are blessed to have. She is there through thick and thin. She is the kind of friend that when you ask her opinion she will tell you the honest truth. When you feel like you’re world is closing in, she will open the windows and let the sunshine in. When you’re bubbling over with joy she right there with you and happy for you. She is a class act. If you know her you know all this. If you don’t know her you will want to. I could never say enough about this lady.
Just that she is wonderful and I am blessed to have her as my best lady friend.

Now Jackie, you do what the Doctors say, the main thing here is for you to get better! You know I will be praying for you.
Blake, will take care of the house, those boys (grown men) of yours Todd, and Troy they will take care of the shop. Take time off and be pampered.  I love you lady!

Blake you call me tomorrow when you can and let me know she is ok.

Payers going out to you dear friend.

Heal quick, lady! You will be in the entire Crew's thoughts and prayers.

Jackie is definitely one of our finest.

Sweetie, I'm sure things will be fine. Now listen to your friends, and put your energy into healing.

lots of love, nani

Hope all goes well.

Good luck tomorrow Jackie.  Elaine is correct. The Dr.may SAY you need to have this done...but we know that you see things a LOT clearer than people  w/o Cataracts.

Will you get to have one of those cool black eye patches that make you look tough ?

Arrrgggghhh - Jackie the Pirate!

Shiver Me Timbers Matey!!

And all the best vibes and prayers we can muster for smooth sailing.

Good luck tomorrow Jackie. I hope it all goes perfect.

Lady E,

You said it perfectly, sweetie.   I love you a bunch!

If ever there was an Angel in human form, it's our Jackie.

I love ya, Jacks!    :-*

Thank goodness for eye surgeons, huh   :-?     Now maybe we won't have to have that "back-up/reverse gear beeper thingey" installed on your Durango.        :-/      ;D  

Good Luck Jackie.  I'm sure you'll do just fine and you'll see even clearer so you can keep us all in line. ;)

Hugs
Carol

Hoping for the best of outcomes for ya Jackie!!!

Mike

Whoop some surgery ass, Jacks!  [smiley=bigguns.gif]

You will be in my heart tomorrow as you are every day!  :-* :-* :-*

Take care and heal quick. :-*

Everything will turn out wonderfully Jax.. ;)

Do you have any idea how much people love you?  Well.. I hope you do!

Prayer and healing vibes coming your way. ..

I'm sure Blake will be watching over you like white on rice!  
Please give an update when its available.. (Blake or Elaine).  

Love,
Goofy :-*

Goodluck and heal quick

Good luck and a speedy recovery to you Jackie!  I'll be sending vibes for a successful outcome all day tomorrow.

Hugs,
Jen

lots of love from me to you Jackie, I can't wait to see you again

love
Helen xxx

You all touch my heart with you kind words  Thank you so much for the good luck vibes and your positive thoughts and prayers.   It's going to be fine.  I'm not at all concerned about it...just pissed that I can't drive myself tomorrow... :D

You all are the toughest people on earth with the most tender hearts and giving ways.  I've always loved my clusterheads and their supporters.

Elaine....you just about made this old hard-a$$ cry.  You are a special friend and I love you dearly

Jean....I checked on a warning device for my Durango rear bumper but was informed it wouldn't work.  I guess you must back up under 35 mph for it to be effective.  They said at my speeds it would need to sound the alarm at 50 to 100 yards before contact.  Soooooo I'm going to have another eye put in the back of my head tomorrow too.  I will be kinda expensive but still cheaper than the $11,000 damage to my vehicle and the other that got in my way... ::)  Oh...tell you buddy George he should be ashamed....laughing at my expense.... ;)

I love you all dearly....
Jackie

Lots and lots of love coming your way with tons of vibes and prayers.

with warm regards,
Tony

Good luch tomorrow Jackie.  I hope all goes uneventful.

-P.

Good Luck Jax and have a speedy recovery!    :-* :-* :-*

New to the board and so haven't a clue who you are, but sounds like you're a real friend already.

Jackie and I enjoyed a smoke together over the phone this morning and she is in great spirits. Her words "SHE IS READY TO GET THIS CRAP OVER WITH."

I will be working on the porch Jackie, but I will have the phone right beside me waiting for Blake to call. Figure I need to stay busy today.

Excellent news!

Great news!  

Thanks for the update Elaine :)

Well, good.  Glad to hear that Jackie's at home, and that all went well.  You're going to like the results, Jackie--they've come a long way with that surgery.  I know some folks who've had it who don't even have to wear glasses anymore.

Well, maybe just a little ashamed....  ;)

All the best,

George

Ok, Jackie -- now lay down and take it easy -- Let the boys order take out -- you just DON'T do anything for the rest of the day.... be DELICATE for a while... ;)

Glad everything went smoothly....

Hugs BD

He didn't sound like he was ashamed when I spoke to him on the phone, Jacks.       [smiley=crackup.gif]      It sounded more like hysterical laughter to me          :-/       ;D  

I could be wrong....though     LMAO    ;D   (luv ya, George     :-*)    

Jean

Thank you all again for the sweet posts, positive vibes and prayers.
The nurses said I was as calm and cool as they'd ever seen.  They didn't know I had clusterville with me.... :)

It was a piece of cake.  I can't see yet but am told it may take a few days.

And by the way....Blake is a great scrub nurse...... ;D

Love to you all.....
Jackie

Have him put on one of those cute little nurse's outfits.

Sorry I'm just seeing this now, but I'm very glad it went well, Jackie!!  Now rest up and hopefully your vision will be nice and clear soon!

Hugz,
Carrie :)

You're getting a CADILLAC?  What a nice guy your husband is!now, didja get that big one with all the special things on it, or the racy one with the corvette engine...oh, we should race!!.....err...what's that? You didn't say cadillac?? Cataract?   Oh..........well...........nevermind..........
OMG!  Maybe I need cataract surgery....never saw this thread till now!

Well, now that the worrying is over, Jackie, so glad you got this done.
Sorry your vision is blurry........dunno about you, but if my vision is blurred, i prefer alcohol to be involved.

Please take good care of yourself, Jackie, and heal well!
