I still need them for driving / TV but to be able to get up in the night and not scratch around to find glasses before I can move around is fantastic !!<br />Enjoy !<br />Have the best day !<br />MeMehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520543769631877571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-7374274278973276662012-10-25T19:33:01.862-04:002012-10-25T19:33:01.862-04:00My mother was so thrilled with her cataract surger...My mother was so thrilled with her cataract surgery.

Like getting fatter, or getting gray hair or losing your memory---I forget what else. <br /><br />My eye doc said cataract surgery might be in my future but the good news was if I put it off long enough Medicaid will cover the cost and some of my other vision problems could be corrected. Almost looking forward to that.Leeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17655189620056032790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-23222385994888249802012-10-25T13:03:41.551-04:002012-10-25T13:03:41.551-04:00I had the cataract surgery & last month passed...I had the cataract surgery & last month passed the eye test at the DMV to have my license renewed for another 5 years.

I guess some people just produce more wax than others.

It's so interesting when they get their hearing back and everything seems so loud to them. When my husband first got his hearing back his ears were very sensitive to noise and he kept accusing me of being deaf!

I'd miss being able to see sparkly things so much.<br />Various friends and both Uncles have had this done and it's been interesting thinking that just 50 years ago, they would have been nearly blind today, but now, all still driving and watching their families grow up and in one case, still juggling. <br />Total yey for medical science keeping us functional during our now extended lifespans. :-)Eccentricesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350166822047688150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-82579974667749949912012-10-25T09:52:45.623-04:002012-10-25T09:52:45.623-04:00Awesome what they can do these days, isn't it?...Awesome what they can do these days, isn't it?<br /><br />This reminds me of my grandmother who was telling my dad how much better she could hear after she got a hearing aid.
