   With the full face mask? Mine made me look more like the guy from Silence of   
   the Lambs, I think. . .

   That's a responsible choice, for sure.  Too many would push it out of   
   stubbornness then cause an accident one night.

   Do you have a local volunteerism or seniors' organisation where you could   
   request for a volunteer driver?

   Yup; Luckily you have internet & ham to stay connected to the human race in a   
   covid-safe way!   
      
   I wush you well, my friend.  & safety & success with the eye surgery (is it   
   cataract-prevention in the second eye?)
