Hello friends!
Just in case you are wondering why I'm not posting ....
I had cataract surgery the other day on one eye and I am finding it difficult to see with unbalanced vision. My left eye won't be repaired until November 21st.
Wearing my glasses with one lens popped out isn't working for me. So I've opted to stay off the computer because it's frustrating — I want to interact with you and post. I can't use my camera yet either nor even choose a decent photo from my files.
I'm trying to find things to do to keep me busy but I'm limited. I'm left wondering what a blind person would do without their sight.
I am very grateful for corrective lenses prior to the surgery. I can't imagine what life would be like without the hope of improved vision.
See you in December.....

We never appreciate things until they're gone. :) Here's hoping to a successful procedure, quick recovery, and getting back to doing what you love.

I'm back...for now. I really need to give you both my contact info. <3
It hurts a little trying to fit Steemit and WriMo in but I'm gonna try.
So I have to ask you - when did push come to shove where you said, "That's it! I need the surgery."

My nose is almost at the screen so I can't answer you about all that.....love to talk later. What's the link to where you hang out? I'll look for you there. :)

Right now I'm in Discord under the Tradeqwik trollbox but the new forum is at https://forum.vivaco.in
I'm about to do a write up for it and see if we can't scare up a few more people to check it out. :)

Thanks @creatr....I can see! Thank you so much for remembering me today. I did well. I'm just finishing my drops for the night and about to put on my eye patch. I kept an "eye" on some posts but couldn't type a comment....loved your haiku re anxiety. A word fitly spoken for sure.

Thank you, @countrygirl.
So glad to hear that things went well! Take good care of yourself, and get back to posting really soon... ;)
BTW, I'm jazzed recently - have gotten a real boost from a relatively new writers' group here on Steemit. Thanks to John's and their encouragement, I'm starting to write more fiction, and penning some things that have rattled my brain for decades... :D
Cheers!

It's important to recover well, our vision is so important! Hope you find something fun to do as an alternative (and let us know after!).

My grandfather never got his cataracts fixed and he watched tv with binoculars, from the other room! Absolutely no question where I inherited my stubbornness...

I have someone replying for me -
I have astigmatism too - really bad - and now that one cataract has been done and implanted with a lens I don't have it in that eye. So I am far sighted in one eye and very near sighted in the other....very difficult to focus.
Thanks for your support and well wishes!!!
