Cataract surgery yesterday

So, seems to have gone well. Done at Hudson Valley Hospital, which is also where I had my knee surgery 11 years ago. Have to put in a variety of drops in my right eye for the next several weeks, including one that goes for six weeks. and right now my pupil is still dilated.

The actual surgery takes about half an hour.

Brigid took this after getting back to the room, still looking cute in my bonnet –

You can also just about see how dilated my right pupil is – just about completely open (yeah – no one should be subjected to this kind of close up of me!) with hardly any iris visible. There’s also the remnants of an ink mark above my right eyebrow – as in “this is the eye…”

  1. Wishing you a perfect recovery. I’m delighted that the ink helped them to do the procedure on the correct eye. Having the operation done on Candlemas Day yesterday was a wise move on your part; hopefully increasing your chances of ‘seeing the light’ !

  2. We’re not all that far from Easter now, so perhaps this can double as your Easter Bonnet this year !

  3. You were always a difficult opponent for me in chess, but now that your eyesight has been improved, I fear you’ll be able to see the board even better, and will become even more difficult for me to beat !!!

  4. OK. For the real test now, how many fingers do I have up?

  6. Very funny comment! You’ve still got it…
    Hope all the colours you see are more vibrant again. Speedy recovery – and give a big hug to my gorgeous Aunt for me. xxx

    I had no idea you were having this done! I’m sure you’re going to love your new, clear vision!
    Now if you only could attain new, clear vision in other matters.

    ” Now if you only could attain new, clear vision in other matters.” I am having visions – Padre Pio dropped by my office the other day.

  9. Tom – I think you saw St. Padre Pio in your office because he’s going on the road for the Holy Year now!
