It is amazing how we take our blessings for granted until they
disappear. We think we understand when someone else struggles through health
issues, but we don’t. Not until we experience it ourselves. Before having
cataract surgery, I gained a better understanding of what my mother and others
with macular degeneration go through. Losing your vision is not easy. I was
very grumpy.
Hooray! I can see again. I can sew again. Drive my car. Read magazines
and maps. I give thanks to medical science, as well as to the wonderful doctor
and medical staff who made the experience almost pleasant. Apparently, I
thought cataract surgery was the removal of a cataract. Did you know that they
not only remove it but also replace the lense in the eye with a plastic one
that is good for life?
Incredible!

Thoreau
