My Cataract Surgery Got Cancelled Because I Misunderstood My Nurse

So this was supposed to be a simple day: cataract surgery, in and out. Instead I spent four hours in an Italian hospital after a language mix-up with a nurse sent my blood pressure through the roof and got the whole thing cancelled. Also in this one: our kids came to visit, we hit some day trips and BBQs, made our own cannoli from scratch, and I got to try my hand milking our neighbor's cows for the first time. Piano, piano — even when it doesn't go to plan.
