Update on Ian...
He is doing really well. Third surgery (2nd cataract) went almost as well as the one before it. The downside - he felt a lot more pain. He felt and saw everything they were doing. Not sure I could handle that.
His vision in the left eye is not as good as the right, but it wasn't before surgery either so we were expecting that. As of last Thursday his eyesight was 20/40 (almost 20/30) in the right eye and 20/50 in the left. Thursday afternoon he was out driving his new car that he was so worried we would have to take back.
This coming Thursday he goes for a check-up. They are also going to see if his vision can be improved with corrective lenses (glasses more than likely). We are really hoping for a solid 20/30 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left. If they find it can be improved upon we will go to our regular eye doc and get the glasses.
He still has to be watched very closely for retinal detachment for the first 6 weeks. After that the risk goes done - but it will still be a lifelong risk - as it always has been.
A week from today he gets to go back to work after nearly a month off. I think he is looking forward to it. I am going to miss him terribly. I have gotten used to having him around.
@jimmytammy Thanks for all the photos. Starting to get a bit homesick. Our 7th month window for BWV is approaching. It will be nice to try some place new but I have to confess - I am not going to be too terribly disappointed if we aren't able to get in and stick with our current booked stay at BRV.
