Hi everyone
It has been a long period of not posting and I am sorry but it could not be helped. Here is the hopefully short version of the saga.
In late March I notice I was seeing less and less out of my left eye and saw the regular optimist that I use. I've been wearing glasses since college. Got diagnosed with cataracts. Waited a month before getting to see the specialists and that was after I told them I was losing sight, otherwise I would be just getting into for the initial exam. Lenses definitely need to be replaced. Just want the regular version, no specialty stuff. Now waiting about 3 weeks for surgery for one eye than two weeks after that for the second eye. Everything seems to go fine and at the next day check-up, Dr wanted to pop my lens for that eye (from the glasses). I said no. Regardless of other things, I needed my bifocals. Left eye kept aching and feeling funny. Finally at the week check-up I got a mini-cat scan (not sure how else to describe it) and there is something behind the eye but it should not be bothering my vision. Following week had the second eye done. Much better and easier. Now have great distance vision but nothing else. I actually bought 2 paid of cheap readers (2 different strengths) to replace my bifocals. I also had to buy sunglasses since I am now sensitive to really bright sunlight - evidently this is normal. I can drive just fine but now my mid-range distance if off. Back to the original optimist. Get retested, I still need glasses - no problem. I had figured I would still need them. I have a funky stigmatism. Now another 2 week wait for the new glasses (with upgraded bifocals). It's been less than a week but now I have new glasses and are adjusting to them. I went to a smaller frame this time. I think I am ready to go back to my normal and fine stitching. I certainly do not need as much light anymore.
Meanwhile The Potter's Shed has been on hold, more or less. I did some between my last SAL post and the initial surgery. I did finish one needlepoint piece and did lots of knitting ( wih ripping) and crocheting.
So I have two new photos for you today - the updated The Potting Shed and a completed Bermuda Reef, as well as the two previous photos.
