I go to Dallas for my medical care - that's where I had my shoulder evaluated. I started going there in 2016 for cataract surgery and was very pleased with the care I received, so decided to get all my healthcare there. I always stay at a hotel that is near Love Field, where SW Airlines flies, and not too far from DFW. The hotel is adjacent to Bachman Lake City Park, which gives me a nice place to walk and run.

My friend Vivian came to stay with me for this trip since I had to have eye surgery (removal of an epiretinal membrane that was distorting the vision in my right eye). The surgery was easy and I only had to rest for a day. Vivian and I decided to go to some museums and escape the heat. Dallas has some lovely museums. The photos below are from the Dallas Museum of Art. I guess I was still a little wonky from the surgery, plus I had a patch over one eye, so I didn't get details from the exhibits.

My favorite was an installation of Dale Chihuly's Hart Window glass sculpture.

This was installed in 1995 and at the time these were the largest pieces of glass ever blown. Even with just 1 eye, I couldn't miss them!
