I have to go at the end of April, otherwise I'll get cut off!

My husband must have eye surgery every 3 mos. for the rest of his life. He is 83 right now; next surgery at the end of April too! If he lets it go, he could go blind in the solitary eye he still has vision left in!

We do not know what the hell to do!

Are we fucked yet or what?
