To all my friends and fellow members on this wonderful site! it is my excited privilege to let you know that my cataract surgery on my Right eye was an overwhelming success! but seriously, my vision is greatly improved! I am in fact typing and reading here, right now without eyeglasses! my Left eye is still an issue, but with the vision in the Right one so greatly improved, I almost don't even notice the blurriness of the Left eye! and when I need to focus on something, all I need to do is slip on the altered eyeglasses, I took my Dime-store eyeglasses, which is what I've used ever since my vision started failing, I popped out the Right lens, so now I can see good with the Left eye when focusing on stuff up close, and for distance and driving, I don't need any glasses except for sunglasses for outside use
By Doctor's instructions, I have to use the sunglasses to protect my eye until it's completely healed I own an HDMI TV, and for the very first time, I watched a movie last night, and it was like I was watching it in 3D! the picture was EYE-Poppingly clear!

I want to thank everyone here for all the emotion support you afforded me during this time, I my not have ever seen or met you guys face to face, but to me, you all ARE family!

I will have the surgery on the other eye a week from next Wednesday! and hopefully after, my vision will be 20/20 again!


            thank you,

Tomorrow will be the left eye, once that's done I should at least have very clear vision!
The Doc said I'll need glasses for reading and such, But I can say this, anything will be better than what I was living with, my sight was so bad, I probably shouldn't have been driving! and I realize this only now because I didn't realize just how bad my sight was, TRULY! I was all but night-blind! I shutter at the thought of how easily I could've caused an accident!

But now, even since the right eye has completely healed, I'm seeing 98% better! and hoping to defy the odds, and the Doctor and end up with 20/20 vision!

That's wonderful!  We were all praying that things would go well!
A friend had that same surgery recently and he also had no problems.



Now:  On to more movies!    

I liked 'The Mist' too though I thought the ending was a bit over dramatic. But 'The Mummy Returns' is great with Freddie Boath giving a marvellous performance. I think he and that coloured actor got on really well as they had so many scenes together. Loved to have watched it with you, 'Boymoviebuff'.    

Well, I have a 2:15 with my Eye Doctor for the final Follow-up! Last time I saw her she told me it looked like I won't eyeglasses and maybe not even reading glasses! so I'm hoping that will be the prognosis!

I'll update tonight when I get home, it's a 70 mile round trip to see her! so it'll be probably 5pm or later before I get home, because of evening traffic.

Doc said my eyes are doing great! she pronounced the Right healed, but wanted me to wait and stop the drops on Wednesday as scheduled!
