I’ve had a few people ask me what surgery I am having on Tuesday. Knee? Eye? Face-lift? LOL No to the knee and the face-lift, but yes to the eye surgery. This time, it is my right eye.
When I first met Dr. W. in Boston so she could examine my left eye, she gave me the news that I also had a cataract in my right eye. I knew eventually I would need surgery to remove that cataract and get a new lens. However, I was not ready to commit to that surgery until I knew for certain that the vision in my left eye could be restored.
As some of you recall, last August I had that surgery and it was a total success . Still I was a bit nervous about scheduling this surgery, but feeling the confidence in my doctor and that “Lady Luck” was on my side I went ahead and scheduled this operation.
The biggest difference between a “normal” cataract operation and mine is that I will have a much larger ridged lens placed in my eye and sewn into place. As with my left eye, these stitches will stay in for life. However, I will have near perfect vision when all is said and done, for the first time since I was 13 years old.
My daughter, Mandy is going with me to Boston, and Hubby is staying home with the fur children. I will worry about them all until I return, but I look forward to the time alone with Mandy. However, next time I want to spend some time alone with Mandy, I think we should just take a cruise!
I bet things will go very well for your surgery!! 😀
Have a good trip to Boston, your surgery will be a success just like the one you had in August!
I’m so glad it looks as if things went well for you.
