We are driving Kolo to Charlotte this morning to see about the feasibility of removing her cataracts. It is quite a rainy day, but as usual, she enjoys the car ride and loves being with us in the car.
We made our usual breakfast and bathroom stop at Bojangles in Landrum, South Carolina, leaving Miss Kolo in the car alone. Ha. In a few short minutes she had nosed through all the bags near my front seat. Good thing her lunch was in a zippered thermos bag, or it would've been devoured.

Carolina Veterinary Specialists. (Arrive there at 10 am exactly and of course predictable Steven checks his watch and urges me to hurry up.)
Waiting... And Kolo does not sit still. Note the moving tail.
Look at that face! My Sweet Kolo, in the waiting room. NOT her favorite place to be. She keeps pulling us toward the door. I know she'd like to head for home without seeing the doctor.
Ophthalmologist Dr. Pate first numbs Kolo's eyes, then checks Kolo's cataracts up close.There was a last minute cancellation, so it looks like Kolo will have her surgery next Tuesday. They plan to remove the cataracts and insert an artificial replacement lens, called an intraocular lens. Both eyes will be operated on at the same time.
Her eyes are inflamed from the cataracts, so it seems the sooner we do the operation, the better her chances to see again. There is also a greater chance for complications because of the inflammation. No guarantees. We are hoping that all will go smoothly next week.
