I can still read and everything. I keep using the tears since my eyes are dry, And then I am able to see. I have trouble at handbell practice since the person that I share the music with is nearly 6ft talll and I am 5 ft. tall and I have to look toward the left with the left eye to see the director, too. Tthe left eye is the worse eye at this time. I can hardly wait to get the cateract out have the lens implant and then I can see! Yea!

The thought of that docotr scraping my eye with his knife is so fast that I think I will be able to endure it a few seconds.> >> >> > I went back to the corneal specialist today in Chattanooga.

Mama Sher,

I will probably be ready in June for whatever that eye doctor tells me I need. I hope the cornea is smooth by May 28th.

Toodles!

Jane... I had cataracts removed from both eyes last year and it was so easy and simple. How nice to have a procedure go the way it's supposed to! I'm usually the one with the complications. ;o)

I'll be watching the board for your posts.

BTW, you looked like you were having a good time at Orlando. Always smiling.

Love ya ;oD
