When you are married a long time, it gets to the place where you and your spouse seem to do everything together. I guess we're at that point, because our cataract surgeries were just 20 minutes apart.
For three days, it seemed as though I'd never see out of that eye again. Everything was extremely blurry. Yesterday there was a welcome change; I noticed if I shut my other eye and looked at the news on television with the one they fixed, I could actually read words on the television, although still very blurry. So I'll quit my worrying.
They were going to do both of our other eyes before Christmas, but we decided we wanted to wait and find out how these turned out before we had another session.
It's cold today; I think I'll stay inside for the most part.
I was making oatmeal cookies today, and they weren't done in the time it usually takes. I added 5 minutes on and they seem done, but I think my oven must not be working right, because they have always been done after 13 minutes. Wouldn't that be great, to have a defective oven on Christmas? I have a thing to hang in the oven and check the temperature, and will use it as soon as I get these cookies done.
That's all, folks.
Wow, you will be able to see it all now, Get the other eye fixed. I have cataracts but mine aren’t ready to remove yet I bet you are going to love the no glasses feeling.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to. We just wanted to wait a couple of months at least to see how the first one does. I would never be without glasses. It's another thousand dollars if you want that, and it's out of pocket. But I like wearing glasses. I have dark circles under my eyes and glasses hide them a little.
DeleteIt is frighteningly blurry at first but improves quickly. Funny thing, I've been worried about my oven too. It's "only" 28 years old!
ReplyDeleteMy oven isn't that old!
DeleteGlad your vision seems to be improving. It's aggravating when the oven acts up, I've had that happen more than once. Rebecca in SW MO
ReplyDeleteYou two look really cute. Had both of mine done in my late 50s. Make sure you use the eye drops like instructed. Set the timer! I had several patients who had to come to the hospital cuz they got infections from not using their eye drops. I just had the eyeglass lens removed from the surgery eye before I had the 2nd one done.

ReplyDeletewe haven't missed the drop times so far.
