cataract surgery went well

[redbird]

I am just back from having the surgery on my left eye. It was much easier than I had feared, and I can already see better through that eye. @Cattitude and @Adrian_Turtle came along for moral support, mainly to reassure themselves. The only problem now is that I can't put my glasses on (because of the eye shield), so I can't read. Elizabeth kindly drove us there, and to Lizzy's for ice cream afterwards. I see Dr. Lazzara for follow-up tomorrow.

No heavy lifting or strenuous exercise, and no floor exercises for a week. I'm very glad I did those particular exercises this morning.

I may not be reading responses for a bit, because of the difficulty with my glasses. I am using Adrian's eyes to post this.

I only needed to wear the eye shield while sleeping. But go with doctor's orders, of course.

Cataract surgery made a huge difference for me.

If I understood correctly, it was wear until I woke up this morning, and then I may wear it while awake and have to for sleep. I am keeping it on at least until after this morning's first eye drops.

I'm glad it went well, and especially that it was better than you feared. Not being able to read is hard but I hope it won't last long.
