Sorry, I'll have to catch up with everyone tomorrow. I had "surprise" cataract surgery on my right eye this morning (I thought I was going in for the pre-op assessment!) and, unlike when I had my left eye done in October, I can't see shit. I must have had Speedy Gonzales the last time; despite me having a pretty bad, tough, and thick cataract, he was done in 10 minutes and my vision in that eye was crystal clear immediately after surgery THIS guy today...in my right eye there was an early-stage cataract, and he took about a half-hour of playing tug-of-war with my eye. Everything is completely blurry in my right eye and it hurts (stings, like I have to constantly blink), and my right nostril is constantly running.

I can't wear my glasses with this stupid eye-shield on for the next 24 hours (forgive me if there are more than my usual number of typos) and right now, just to type this, I have my computer screen enlarged to 170%. All I can really do without my glasses is watch TV. I can't even crochet! 😭

The only bright side to all of this is that I don't have to cook tonight. Thai food (or maybe fish & chips) it is!
