Today I had the cataract removed from my right eye. A new lens was put in. So now the right and left should "match" each other. I have started the every two hour regime of eye drops. I am just glad to have it completed. Of course it will up to a month before I have the new glasses, but am now using "cheater" glasses from the drug store. I can see great at a distance but need the glasses for close up. The actually surgery takes about 10 minutes. Of course it takes a day to recover from having the eye dilated and from the anesthesia. It is amazing.
Last week I was able to start my outside yard work. I pulled up some spreading Juniper that was under the flowering cherry tree. It had become about a foot deep and was causing problems with fungus on the tree so that the leaves would drop prematurely. Then I dug out all the day lilies in front of the house, tilled the soil, added more soil and compost and replanted a fraction of them. They were completely overgrown. We had had beautiful weather to do this, but last night had a frost. That was not a problem for my yard, but I worry about the blueberry bushes where I pick each year.

I agree - it's amazing how quickly the recovery takes place. Hope you're feeling well, Mom!
wow, I bet the surgery is amazing! how wonderful to have vision in both eyes of the same level.
I wish you fast healing with the eye - so you can get back to work on the landscaping. Tho that never seems to end!
Glad the surgery went all right. It is very nerve racking anytime you are dealing with the eyes.
