In my case you can imagine how FREAKED out I was with only one eye for all my seeing and it was the cataract eye. I went in the hospital in the morning and home in the afternoon. And all was well after a bit of recovery time I was fine. And hopefully my "good eye" will stay for the rest of my life. As will be your case. Cataract removal these days is a piece of cake and you'll come through this with flying vision colors!:-) cheers, Dr ted O.C. -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Tina Manley Sent: July-24-17 4:18 PM To: MUGers at yahoogroups.com; Leica Users Group; paw; seephoto; Olympus Camera Discussion Subject: [Leica] Eyes PESO: Well, I went for my eye exam today and it turns out that I have cataracts! No wonder I can't see. They have never seen any evidence of cataracts in my eyes before but, all of a sudden, I have cataracts ready for surgery. I go back August 11th to see the surgeon and schedule the operation. Now that I've turned 71, my whole body is falling apart. I have Plantar Fasciitis so bad I can't put any weight on my foot and am walking very slowly with a cane. I'll be seeing that doctor next week. I have to cancel a planned trip to Savannah this week-end because I can't walk. I'm taking a strong antibiotic to kill the bugs I picked up in Syria and that's got the rest of my body messed up. Getting old is not fun! All of these are the reasons I'm sitting at the computer scanning old film instead of being out take new photos. :-( -- Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com tina-manley.artistwebsites.com http://www.alamy.com/stock-photography/3B49552F-90A0-4D0A-A11D-2175C937AA91/ Tina+Manley.html _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
