Sun 9th Feb 2014
Nancy’s cataract operation was very
successful she was aware of something going on but never felt a thing and to
all accounts the next day the specialist was very pleased with the post op
inspection. For a couple of days Nancy had a gritty feeling in her eye and it is
still very susceptible to bright light so really dark sunnies outside and we
watch TV at night with lights of, other than that all good. Two lots of drops 4
times a day, surprising how quickly that seems to come around and at night when
she goes to bed she looks like Captain Hook with a patch on the eye to stop her
from accidentally rubbing it in her sleep (only for a few nights). Four weeks
of drops and then she will be like new. In the meantime she has the other eye
done on the 26th Feb and then it will be a repeat performance although
in the meantime she is inclined to be a bit one eyed!!
The specialist was talking about setting
one eye for long sight and the next will be set for closer things so Nancy will
only have to wear glasses for reading. Amazing what they can do these days and
we think it is all such big deal but when you go to the clinic it is carried
out like an assembly line. I guess the more they do the better they become.
Apparently my dear old mum who is in her
mid 90’s is starting to fade rapidly so I just hope she hangs on until all this
eye business with Nancy is over, whatever will be, will be though and at 95 she
is just tired and entitled to go when she pleases.
that's all for now
