Hi All: I had the cataract surgery today, with the implant for vision. I have been sleeping most of the day. I have an appointment tomarrow at 9:30 with my regular eye doctor and I have alot of questions for her. Other than things being brighter, there is no change in vision. I'm hoping this will improve, but at this time, don't know what to tell you.
I had a surprize before surgery, Jeannie showed up, she had gone to 4 different clinics in Pine City to find me. But was in the right town, so she just kept going till she got to the right place. We had a good visit, Barb was also there, she was my ride. So we all went out to lunch after surgery, because I was starving, LOL had a good time.
Hi all: Well I came back from the doctor with some good and bad news. The good news is everything is allot brighter than it was, and I can see colors again. So that means I can start painting again YAHOO.
The bad news is, there is allot of swelling in the eye. And we won't know if there is any sight improvement until that is gone. So I now have 3 different drops and a cream to put in my eye 4 times a day. 10 min. apart from each other. So I have 3 hr's in-between treatments to do anything I can. My depth perception is off a bit, so I walk very carefully. Can't bend down or carry anything over 10 lbs.
I'm going to go in and try to paint, and see how that goes.
Wish me luck.
Love Ya All
Jackie

Dear Jackie..........
I'm glad that your surgery went well, but I'm sure that all of your vision loss stuff and this treatment with drops and creams is a real pain. I am so sorry that you're going through this.....about 20 years ago I had three years of macular damage and inflamation and fluid in the layers of the eye..resulting in permanent damage to my maculars.........and they predict that as I age, it will return and take more vision away...so far, I can see alright, but not well enough to tell if it's getting worse or not yet.......but anyway, I really empathasize with you.... love you, Kathleen
