Operations complete - Rehab continues

Less than one hour ago I was still in the recovery room. I am now home sitting at the computer to make an entry about my "ordeal." My last operated eye is still cloudy and smarts a little The doctor had to include a stitch this time, so that probably accounts for the smarting sensation that I am experiencing. I have great hopes that the right eye will come along and my sight in it will be excellent like that in my left eye. I paid $800 extra for each eye to have a "toric lens'' installed in each eye. The "toric lens" corrects for astigmatism and is weighted and such to keep it properly oriented in the eye. Right now the operated eye is sore with cloudy vision, I am counting on better results as the body makes adjustments for what has happened to the eye. I see opaque light with forms silhouetted in my right eye. They seemingly can do some marvelous things for old people's eyes in this day and age.

I am starting to survey the yard a little more closely now for possible plantings to enhance the exterior appearance. It has been so cool with so much north breese that I have not generated a lot of enthusiasm for such a thing.

The ducks are doing their thing and acting like spring is coming. I haven't fertilized the lawn or turned on the sprinkling systems this year because of the cool weather.

As I proceed with the rehabilitation of the eyes I will update you as to the progress coming about with respect to my vision. If the right eye demonstrates the same success of the left eye, I will think that it was a wonderful thing to have done to my eyes. Stand by for further updates as time wends relentlessly on its way. gwh
