Good news!

I had my one-week follow up check on my eye today, the right one I had cataract surgery on a week ago. The woman who did the examining was quite surprised because I went from 20/nearly blind to 20/25. And she said that when my vision stabilizes, it could even go to 20/20.

The surgery was so difficult for me--it didn't hurt or anything but it just seemed to take a lot out of me--I was dreading the 2nd surgery in 2 weeks. But not now! It'll be worth it if my other eye--that's not nearly as bad as my right eye--does as well.

I too went from 20/nearly blind last year to 20/20. I also had astigmatism which was fixed. Once you get the second one done you will be overjoyed.

@Helpful Hannah, That is wonderful news and I know it is a big relief for you.

The next time that I hear salt and ice together, it better be in a margarita!

That was exactly my situation.

I'm a "non-practicing" cross stitcher because my eyesight has been so bad for the last few years. After I get my left eye fixed -- and if my doctor ays it's ok -- I'm going to try stitching again. I've done a lot of piece that I'm...well, I'll admit it ...proud of and I'll be so glad to start stitching again.
