Ski Day Number One

I started the day with a Doctor's appointment to look at my left eye. A cataract has been building for over a year and I am done waiting for something to be done. I met with Dr Jansen and he agreed it has gotten worse and he is referring me to Spokane Eye Clinic. So now I have to wait for them to give me a call and schedule another round of the exact same appointment I had today. That's efficient.

Part of the examination is to dilate my eyes. Supposedly, it makes me sensitive to light. I didn't really notice a big difference. Until I arrived at the parking lot of Mt Spokane...about two hours after my appointment. It sure was bright out there with all the snow.

Perhaps I skipped ahead too far.

I took the day off due to the Doctor visit and my many vacation days I have accrued. I decided that because of the early hour of the visit, I had time to go skiing.

So that's what I did.

Many thanks to my longtime friend, John who allowed me to use his Corporate Pass. That means that all it cost me was the gas to get up there.

Having the pass made it much easier to leave after only four runs. It was really foggy and it made the light flat...which made it very hard to see the terrain. At one point I stopped and almost fell down as I came to a stop because I couldn't tell if I had stopped. I had not! I was still moving and it made me a little disoriented.

But now I have a ski day in the books for the 20-21 Ski Season and that makes me happy.
