I'll try to keep the story short. About five years ago, I was told I had a cataract in my left eye. The doctor said it would be at least 10 years before I would need surgery. Within two years, I had a cataract in my right eye too. By the time five years had passed, I was almost blind in my left eye.
Obviously, it was time for the cataract surgery. The surgery itself went well, but the variance between the two eyes was too different, and I had to have the right eye operated on the following week. So, now I have two brand new eyes. Pretty amazing! The #1 comment I've heard is, "You're too young for cataracts". Apparently, that's not true. I have several items put aside to make a cataract quilt, but so far, it hasn't risen to the top of the list. Stay tuned to see if there is a cataract quilt in my future. LOL
I've been back in the studio for a few months now and am loving the new eyes. Everything is much brighter and super sharp. Very exciting.
More to come soon.

You must be so happy to see clearly again!
I've been wondering what you've been up to. I'm so glad to hear that you are ok... in fact, you're better than ok! Congratulations on being able to see so well again. It's like a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders, isn't it? I love the piece you've created; it's lovely. Sooo glad to see you!
Just went through the same thing. Still adjusting to the new way of seeing.
Glad you're back. Isn't that surgery amazing.
