Blessings we take for granted

Well, I survived the second cataract surgery. It was easier this time knowing what had happened last time. Although it was amusing to hear a nurse training a new tech in the operating room as we all waited for the doctor to appear. Actually I never saw the doctor either time but he was there, he tells me. Guess when you are all covered over with blankets and only one eye that is dilated showing through a cloth you don't see much of anything. You certainly need to trust the doctor, the machinery and workers.

Then comes the recuperation from two eye surgeries. My left eye is better but close vision is worse then my right eye is still dilated so it's about impossible to read anything without a magnifying glass. Thus I've been sleeping and watching netflix movies-a good excuse. But I thrive on working at the computer blogging, etc. I keep telling myself patience-time will heal all things. I do have friends with macular degeneration who are permanently disabled in their sight.
