I finally reached a point where my vision problems were bad enough that I needed cataract surgery. Yesterday, I had my right eye fixed. Today, the fuzziness has disappeared, and I can see better with the fixed eye than I can with the other eye even with my glasses. Now, I get to learn how to function with my eyes radically different. I’m starting to see a difference in color between my eyes. So many people I know who have had cataract surgery said the cataracts had given the world a yellow cast. When I look at the world through my left eye, the world has a warm cast. When I look at the world through my left eye, the world has a cool cast.
Being an artist makes the bumps in life easier to navigate. I had the surgery done in Albuquerque which meant spending most of the day in the car. We left about 2:30 AM. Brady slept most of the trip. I had to be at the surgery center at 6:20 AM. My followup visit was at 1:30 PM. Between appointments, we went to a park. After some experimenting, I found a new use for a cloth mask.
Next, I had to deal with bright sun.
Yo, ho, ho. I’ll take the bottle of rum, but not the parrot. I was told to wear a blouse with buttons down the front. So I borrowed one of the shirts I made for Jim.
When we came back from having breakfast this morning, I noticed this growing in the front yard.
I looked around a bit more, and found this growing.
I tried sewing a messenger bag, but had to give up after a couple hours because I couldn’t see. My other eye gets fixed 10/29. It’s going to be a long three weeks. I’m trying to type this with a pair of reader glasses. I put cloth over the left lens and I’m only seeing with my right eye. I’m not sure this setup is an improvement. For my next experiment, Jim removed the right lens from an old pair of glasses. At least I can see in stereo as long as I don’t need to see anything close up.
I’ve been playing around with editing again.
