I've been thinking of you since it was the 24th here - even though it wasn't the 24th for you yet.  Now it's Wednesday for you too, so and doubly sending thoughts and prayers your way.

Woke up and had to use glasses again to see the clock, was hoping this wouldn't happen like the doctor said it might happen. Still not going outside to go anywhere, to much visual input is  weird right now. Cleaned up kitchen and get real lightheaded.. Dark places seem better right now.

Don't do too much physical work.  Let the kitchen go.  I can imagine you'd want to be in darker places for now.  Eye surgery is not to be played around with.  Be Still, Boy...

Today is not a good day so far. Vision has gotten worse since yesterday, it is getting blurrier and have to use glasses again to help see farther away. Close up vision is worse to, can't see a magazine print todayand gave up trying to read a car magazine, was very blurry to see any print. I miss the day after surgery vision, didn't need glasses much, it was like having vision that I had when I was a kid, well except I don't have peripheral vision today.

Is that normal (did they say that is to be expected?) or should you call the doctor? Are you still doing all those eye drops?

Dan, we have OnDemand, but not going to watch any movies, dad would have a sh** fit if I did that. We have HBO, but seen all the current movies and the 80's stuff they are playing at night.

I see the doc Tuesday morning and I'm still doing all the drops. He said the vision might change over time so I can't get new glasses till later. Which he told me Medicare will help pay due to surgery.  ??? But the vision change seems to fast for me especially when I could see so great the first day post surgery. I'll call Monday though.

Aleta, I don
't have that option. The friend who is computer knowledgable lives 72 miles away so I see them at least once a month or if I'm in the hospital. My closest friend less than 2 miles away doesn't own a computer and never has. He uses one at work, but not like a home computer. Not sure if the wife has used a pc, but she is a stay at home mom.
