The oddest thing was that it changed *colors*. Everything was yellowish before. Of course, you don't notice it while it's happening. But they do one eye at a time, and you sure as hell notice it when one eye has been done and before the second one is done. The world is bluer now and a lot brighter. So far I've had one eye done and everything got whiter, brighter and more vivid, then everything got sidetracked by a triple bypass including delays from a bad virus lung infection then a need to re-wire the sternum. now I'm back in line for the other eye. |

Holy cow, Gerry, you've really been through some hell. I hope everything is working out well. When you get the cataract operation in the second eye, it will be a good mood-booster. -- Ed Huntress |

Things are going well here, second son lives with us and Junior is close by so no lack of help if needed plus SWMBO has had lots of experience managing things on her own since most of my working life was away from home, supervising projects across Ontario. |

Having family close is always good. My 91-year-old MIL is surrounded by the progeny of her 10-child Illinois farm family, and she laughs and has company every day. Good luck in your recovery. -- Ed Huntress |
