Cataract surgery

[Barbara]

Dear all,
I had cataract surgery on the right eye on Tuesday and will have the left eye done next Tuesday. I am not allowed to read until Saturday so I have no idea about birthdays, Pearl being COTD etc.
I promise to catch up on the weekend before I leave for No-Read country next week again.
And for all who followed the thread about Betty in Cat General- there will be a surprise !!!!!!! It is so good I am home this week and next (I cannot drive either ) ..........Good timing!
Barbara
P.S. Surgery went well- it is embarrassing to see so differently with the 2 eyes but that is all- and will get ok in time.
P.P.S. I didn't read this post- nobody said that writing isn't allowed

We'll be thinking of you!

ROFL!!!! Oh my, you are funny!

Best wishes w/ healing and the 2d eye. My Dad had both done, he now sees better than I do.

I'm glad to hear that all went well with the first surgery. Hope the same
for the next one. Rest up & get well Barbara.

Best wishes and good healing energies are being sent to you from us! We're glad the first round went well and wishing the same for the next one.

Wow, Barbara, I wish you a speedy recovery. I know a man (friend of a friend) who just went through eye one and is waiting a couple of weeks to have eye two corrected. It seems that the procedure is pretty secure now and patients fly right through the process.

Rest up and follow the orders. Typing is allowed, I think! LOL!

Hugs and get well wishes from all the campers and Sas

XOXOXOXO

Good luck! I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't read, but I guess the results are worth it!

Sending hugs and prayers your way

Take good care of those eyes my friend and enjoy well earned rest. Our stories will always wait for you to catch up.

I'll bet your little furry nurses are beside themselves having mommy around to cuddle and play with

Barbara, I'm glad to hear that your first cataract surgery went well and I hope that the one in your other eye will also go well. You'll hopefully be able to catch up with all of the news on PT later. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way.

Be glad - once you are allowed to read this - that you are having this done now. When my Great Uncle had it done, more than 50 years ago, he had to lie flat in bed for two week, with a sandbag on either side of his head and one on his forehead!

Good news on the first, and good luck on the second!!! The no reading part would be so difficult! But, good eyes are worth the sacrifice.

Barbara, I'm glad to hear the cataract surgery on the first eye went well, I'm sure the other one will, too. A nuisance that you can't read, but you will be able to soon.

I may have to get it done within a few years, also, I missed my spring appointment with the eye doctor. I really need new screen glasses.

Wishing you all the best on the next one!

You will be so happy with the results once you have both done. I had both done 3 years ago, and it was the easiest, quickest, most pain free procedure that I ever had. Of course the results were just awesome - no more glasses except for reading, and I could finally see true colors again. The worst hassle was the eyedrops for several weeks, but a small price to pay for perfect vision. I hope your results are as great as mine.
