Hi folks....
I have been laying low due to some complications with the 2nd eye.
I had to have cataract surgery on my right eye as the vision was awful. I had the surgey and healed like a dream. Bing Bang Boom and it was done.
Two weeks later, I had the left eye done. The cataract was not nearly as bad, but my eye DR had reccomended these very expensive multi-focal lenses.
I was told that this would pretty much be it. The cataracts would be gone and I should have awesome vision without glasses.
The right eye is exactly that......great vision....no need for glasses.
The left eye developed complications.
Apparantly, pressure built behind the eye and it made me very ill. Horrendous headache and well.....imagine a headache so bad, it leads to other things.
I went back and they performed a procedure which reduced the pressure and everything was supposed to be fine.
After a couple days, I can only describe it as having the vision in my left eye "fractured or shattered". I had double vision and fractured light. My vision was messed up.
I went back to the eye DR and after several tests, I was told that it was because of an astigmatism.I went carnival ape crazy and explained that I had had an astigmatism all my life and never had this problem.
the DR took another look and then realized what had happened. The lens, which look like the hurricane symbol on a weather map (a circle with little legs) had "sunset". This is the eye Dr's word. not me being poetic. It means the lens had dropped a bit and I was seeing out of the edge of the lens. Apparently, being so violently sick had done more damage that oripganlly thought.
This lead to an emergency second surgery on my left eye. The lens was repositioned and my vision is improving greatly.
I was told I should try and move my head as little as possible....and not to do things like jump rope. Once John regained his composure and stopped laughing, we were on our way.
I've been pretty quiet for the last few days. I dont want to do anything to disrupt this (*Y*#!@% lens. NO MORE EYE SURGERY......EVER!!!!!
To make this long story longer.....I'm doing ok.
Low key....quiet....watching a lot of TV....but really ok.
My vision is improving each day.
Thanks for worrying about me.
Love y'all.
Kevin
Best wishes.
Well, maybe not, cause with Pete out, he's got to host the podcasts and that requires an awful lot of talking!! We wouldn't want John to be out of breath.
