We got up at 3:30 and 4:30 respectively. Chris can do an early rising. Not me. I’ve been a mess all day. But a happy one.

My appointment was at 7:30. We got there early and we’re home by 10:30. I’ve had two naps and counting.

But the day after recheck proved the surgery successful. I thought I was still seeing nothing but blur. And I expected nothing more or less. The doctor had warned me that mine was the worst cataract she’d ever seen. So she expects a slow recovery.

The assistant put up the eye chart. Last time I saw one with the left eye, even the largest E was a black blur on white. I could only see blotches of colors. Pretty but not meaningful.

Today I read the big E. Then she put up smaller font.  I could read the top row. Then she handed me a holey thing to look through and by moving my eye around I found holes that helped me read the rest of the rows. That was exciting!!!!!

So my day, when awake, has been me winking to see what I can see now. Some words on the television, hands on the clock. The numbers are getting clearer as the day wears on.

What a great adventure for this tired lady! It’s like a slow Christmas!

I have another recheck a week from Thursday. Then the right eye gets done on the 24th.

So many 5 hour drives and not a beach in sight.  But the view was beautiful for December, not mid-May.

Here’s looking at everything kid!
