A new month full of changes.
I had my eyes corrected, having both cataracts removed.
I am not a good patient and really had to stretch myself on this one.
They do give you drugs to have you not be awake during surgery.
The right eye went well other than I got sick apparently, I was not able to take heavy drugs.
Had a great deal of nausea and had to work that out of my system, as we headed for home.
My left eye has had adjustments too. They give you a new lens and apparently my body is not appreciating this foreign thing.
I did not have the heavy drugs during my left eye surgery, and it seems to be way more sensitive.
Hoping in time it will settle down and I can see better.
I was really discouraged when we got home, and I could not read anything.
I just could not believe it seemed worse than before I started.
The doctor reassured me today it will all heal and be better.
I have purchased 6 pairs of reading glasses and two pair of cute sunglasses.
Good grief I didn’t think it would be such a big deal.
Tiem will have to be my friend on this one because my patience is being tested to the fullest.
We don’t know how much we appreciate eyesight and when we don’t have it, what a major change.
I kept thinking of my cousin who is legally blind telling myself she would do anything in her power to get her sight back.
I had to keep being brave.
MY MOTTO for this year.
We also had to take our 11-year-old cat to the vet thinking we were going to have to put her down.
She fooled us and had perfect lab tests done and she is very healthy just a bit underweight.
This expensive month has been a test for sure.
A new month of full of changes and life moves on into this new year.
