Well, I had to go back to the hospital today for an opinion on my recently
operated upon eye.

I won't bore you with how long it was after my appointment time, that I
was
seen. Hours. Anyway, I had my operation on Sept 7. Last week I was in
great pain because the pressure was up. snip

aw, Tweed. We hope the eye pressure keeps going down. I am due for a
cataract removal sometime this year or early next year

Best wishes for your cataract surgery, Jazz.

The mention of cataracts reminded me of something. My aunt Jean who lived
in Columbus, OH, developed diabetes when she was a teenager, in the 1930's.
She became legally blind when she was in her 20's; IIRC this was in the
early 1940's. She could see shapes and colours but nothing else; just blur.
She could read extremely large print with the help of a lighted magnifying
lens.

For all that, she was an amazing woman. Without really being able to see,
she refinished furniture. Painted and glazed small pieces of pottery at a
local crafts shop as a hobby. Cooked up a storm. Over the years she had a
number of surgeries on her eyes; I'm pretty sure she developed cataracts a
couple of times.

This last time, a friend drove her to the doctor. She said nope, I don't
want anyone cutting on my eyes anymore. The doctor, a new "young" guy (she
was in her 60's) said, "You don't understand. I think I can HELP you." Her
friend said, Jean, go on, let him do this. So she did.

She called me on the phone after she recoverd from the surgery. Jill!! I
can SEE! *What?!* The doctor apparently did corrective laser surgery along
with the cataract removal and corrected her vision. Can you imagine being
able to SEE after 40 years of just blur? I was thrilled for her! She also
teased that her husband, who had passed on, always told her she was
beautiful. She said now that she could see herself in a mirror she realized
he'd been lying the whole time! LOL (she had a great sense of humour)

Sadly, she only got to enjoy her new sight for 6 months before she died of a
heart attack. But I'm grateful she got that much time to enjoy it before
she passed on.
