susandennisOn Tuesday it will be three weeks since my cataract was removed.
Over the past 3 weeks, I've adjust enough so that I can now pretty much spend the day without any glasses. In dark areas, I need them to see print. Initially, it was hard to see words on my phone, but now it's much easier. It is easy peasy to see this computer, other computers and my Kindle Fire.
This laptop (the ASUS UX31) has a much more beautiful screen without cataracts. It was a nice screen before but now it's stunning.
On rare occasions when I read print on paper (mainly magazine while eating dinner), I use glasses. Sometimes when on the work laptop but really that's it. Oh I used them this morning at the restaurant but only because I was in a dark corner.
I have had some discomfort. About once a day, very randomly, I get a sharp stab of pain. It lasts about a 10th of a second. It's so quick that I really wonder if I didn't imagine it. And sometimes that eye feels gritty at the end of the day. I have not had enough nerve to get my face in the pool. I tried goggles an ugh. So I ordered a mask - kind of like safety glasses with a strap on the back.
I'm tracking all this stuff for when I got back to see the eye doctor in 3 weeks.
I'm still so impressed with the process and the results. Amazing, really.

And how about that no-hitter?
