Through a glass - still a bit darkly

Well, the 2nd cataract surgery is over and mostly done with. For better or worse, the right eye hasn't healed as nicely as the left eye did. I woke up in the middle of the night last night and all was entirely black. I turned over and looked out the window and could see lights with my left eye, but nothing with my right. I was just a tad ( Read more... )

I hope your eye settles down soon.I'll be thinking of you and sending healing thoughts*hugs*

Thanks for your thoughts and your hugs. I keep wanting to get some lens cleaner and scrub my cornea. But I don't think that's a good idea. Hugs back.

Just reading your post made me anxious--I am glad that you are seeing better...I hope you have a full recovery.

I'm feeling confident that I will, said Pollyanna. Actually the focus is almost OK - mostly it's the brown haze that's sort of annoying, but it's getting lighter all the time. Thanks for your good wishes. Hope all is well in your world.

My world is fine for now. Big change is coming-in 3 weeks my son graduates from college and moves back home. ULP!

Ah, first the big going away, and now the big return. Hope he does well in the job hunting arena. And the adventure continues.

Hello Eddie Pascetti.

I keep meaning to stop by and say hello and say how nice it is to see your posts again. So here I am, finally. :)

Ith's mother had her eyes done recently and she's been so funny about seeing things right for the first time in years. Most of all, she couldn't stop talking about how nice everyone in the hospital was.

In other news, did I ever tell you that one of my first favorite pieces of classical music was Benjamin Britten's Simple Symphony? It came right after Shostakovich's 5th and right before Mozart's Requiem.

Hey, it's nice to hear from you. I've been sort of reclusive of late - the reasons multiply, one on top of the other. But nothing like a little medical procedure to bring the recluse out into the open again ( ... )

Hi Eddie!
I hope your rightie settles down quickly! Take care of yourself.

Thanks Liza - It's happening very gradually. Both eyes are almost equal in focus, but the right eye still presents a darker image than the left, so I feel just a tad lopsided. I'm waiting for the sun to shine brightly in both eyes. Hope all is well with you.
