A little nervous, getting a cataract removed today around noon. That in itself shouldn't be a big thing but it's on my only good eye(legally blind in the left) and the right has had a cornea transplant that they have to work around that is a concern for them and especially me.

When I had the transplant done years ago it was a new procedure now I guess it's pretty common but anytime I get my eyes messed with I get nervous. Hopefully I'll see you later.....Tedd

 

Good luck, one of the local car guys is blind in one eye and can't see from the other one!!

 

Knock em dead, Tedd.

 

Hope you get well soon Tedd.

 

Best wishes for a painless and fast recovery. Hope you see us soon.........

 

In itself the cataract surgery is no big deal, I've had both my eyes done. The problem you'll have is the recovery time from when you get it done and when they remove the eye patch. Good luck and a speedy recovery Tedd.

 

Good Luck Ted, have had eye surgery in the past, 1 year total recovery time, Scary stuff! Tim

 

My father had it done last week. Came through with no problems and can see much better. Hope the same for you.

 

Tedd - Absolute best of good fortune to you on the surgery! "See" you back here soon.

 

Best to you on this Tedd. I am betting on you to do fine.

 

Best of luck Tedd..

 

A fast and easy recovery Tedd. I’ll be 48 years in September but have had a buckle on my right eye for a detached retina (12 years ago) followed by cataract surgery, eyeball injections and laser surgery (while awake and unmedicated) on the left. Thank God, (and my foul mouthed genius opthomologist) that I can still see today!! My annual check ups are a treat as I have a strong trust in his competency and while very different, we can speak candidly with a mutual appreciation of travel/car interests. The cataract surgery was actually pretty easy!!😀

 

I had both eyes done late in 2019 and it was one of the best things I ever did for myself. Prep and recovery took the most time; cataract surgery itself was <15 min. I can see individual blades of grass now.

Granted I didn't have any complicating factors like you do, but cataract and many other surgeries are quick and simple now compared to even 20 years ago. I think you'll do fine.

Besides, you need to be able to see so you can put that BMW back together!😼

 

Over night checkup back from the Doc, everything went very well. I couldn't see my hand in front of my face yesterday and I was a bit worried but amazing what a few hours make, eyes heal quick Typing is a bit of a struggle still but even that is getting better. This wouldn't have been near the ordeal had I had some vision in my left eye.

Thanks all for your concern....Tedd

 

Awesome news Tedd, best wishes for continued health!!!

 

Glad it all worked out. That is a surgery that I want to have done someday. I get so sick of my glasses.

 

Congrats Tedd. I know you are relieved it all went well.

 

Glad you're on the mend.

 

 

Looking Good! I mean really looking good! I think I'm seeing as good now with out a contact lens as I did with a lens in the distance department. Up close is still a challenge but who knows what another day will bring. Consider me a happy camper. Might go for a ride in the Miata tomorrow, top down of course, I'll wear my Rocky the squirrel classes.,,, Tedd

 

Excellent recovery.

Rocky: Two wrongs don't make a right, Bullwinkle.
Bullwinkle: But two rights make a U turn....two U turns make a circle....two circles make a figure 8....two figure 8s make a butterf...
Rocky: Shaddup, Bullwinkle.

 

Enjoy! I was in high school before I really "got" Moose and Squirrel! Hope you can see it Tedd!

 

Glad to hear the good news Tedd!

 

Jumped in the Miata, top down glasses on (that I use for chainsaw work) and went to the Old Man's place. Did some paperwork and came home Like I never had anything done I was blind as a bat three days ago. Happy camper. Checkup on Thursday then I'm done...... Tedd

 

Good to hear, Tedd!

 

Very good news!
