Although the doctor already sees improved vision, Mom is still wearing her glasses to read and do her word search puzzles. Her perception of color is also better, which hopefully means she will be able to work her jigsaw puzzles more efficiently. I think she'll like that. I didn't know cataracts could so adversely affect one's ability to differentiate color. We have three weeks until the second surgery. I hope by then she will be well aware of the benefit to what right now seems to her a needless nuisance. She's still pretty sure she was seeing just fine before. Me? I'm looking forward to a mom who can once again enjoy those 1000 piece puzzles.
My favorite Christmas music?

I wonder if her memory is too poor to remember how bad it was. I am SO glad you did this for her. It will make a HUGE difference, whether she realizes or not.
ReplyDeleteRachel, it is absolutely impossible to predict what she will remember and what she will forget. Maybe it has more to do with whether or not she's actually paying attention.
DeleteI'm sure it will be a big difference! And if she's aware of it, she'll be happy to get the other eye done! Glad everything went well....
ReplyDeleteHopefully she notices some kind of difference otherwise it will feel as though all of this is for naught. We have a full two months of eye drops three times a day for the next seven or eight weeks.
DeleteOne can adjust to anything whether it be suddenly or slowly over time. She has adjusted to poor eyesite. I think she'll notice and be pleased with clearer eyesite. Tell her to count each eye drop as a blessing from God.
ReplyDeleteI like that idea :)
DeleteGlad all went well...so far so good!!!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
