My new look

More signs of my advancing years. Today, I went in for my first cataract surgery. SWMBO has already had it done on both eyes. Friends have had it done. One friend had to wear "coke-bottle-lens" glasses since birth. After her surgeries she suddenly had 20-20 vision without glasses and was, and is, thrilled.

I'm not so happy but then this is the first day and here is how I look.


Now if I could just get SWMBO to stop hiding my white cane . . . .

Cool.

I hope the surgery is a success. Gom has small cataracts but the Specialist says they dont need doing yet. It is macular degeneration that is his problem. My backside muscles get a good workout when I am riding in the car with him!! My knuckles are permanantly white!
Tks for the email- it only arrived once?

Catalyst said...

Aw Dawn, you're the one who is cool!

Meggie - Cataract surgery is a breeze and usually works. Mac D is something entirely different. Have patience....or have him arrested! ;-/

Cataract surgery is the greatest!

I think those shades make you look like one cool cat. Big frames are all the rage, the script sunglasses are similar and I was surprised when my college intern came in one day wishing she had mine!

Speedy recovery, need those peepers working properly so we get more of your awesome photos!

GJ - I agree completely!

Mal-I - When I first put the "shades" on, I told the nurse "Hey! Ray Charles got the blues again!"
