For future reference post cataract surgery…
Ready for a surprise?
The title of this post contains two links. The link on the first part of the text is to the post itself; this is quite normal. However, there’s a second link at the end, on the bracketed text, that should take you to the ‘caveats’ section below. (I’m assuming that you’re reading this in a standard web browser, not in the WordPress Reader.)
Let’s start with the caveats

Sorry to hear about the cataract surgery. I hope that it’s successful!
Thank you!
