Cataract Surgey

Usually very straightforward surgery. momwolf was very surprised at how she was able to perceive colors after hers were done. Enjoy the meds. The light anesthesia they use for cataracts has a side effect of memory loss, so you'll probably not recall the actual surgery, even though you're up and talking throughout. Enjoy the post-procedure ginger ale and cheese and peanut butter crackers. Best of luck!

My grandmom had one eye done and not the other. She'd cover one eye and say "everything looks blue", then cover the other eye and say "everything looks brown".

Best wishes, Buster!
