Yes, I have been back home for a while now and slept for a few hours after my cataract surgery this morning. You guys, were all right, it was easy. But I sure did have a lot of anxiety before. Now, I see blurry a bit but they said that it was to be expected for a little while. Going back to see the surgeon tomorrow morning to see if everything is okay. Still have to do the drops for a few weeks, pain in the neck. Thank you to all my supporters here who kept trying to calm me down.

I was thinking about you - glad to see you post that all is well. Just follow the doc's orders and in a few weeks you will have forgotten all about it.

I had been thinking about you and so relieved it's over and went well. I'd have the same anxiety as well.

Even if everyone is telling us that it is a piece of cake, we still get nervous.

@marlina Maybe the doctor discovered what I already knew: that I have little common sense

@marguicha LOL, I doubt that you have "little common sense".

The doc told me that I can do whatever I want providing I use common sense.

I've been thinking of you today and hoping for the very best for you. Now you rest, and once you feel better and can see a little clearer, you come back on the site. But don't force it too early, we need you to see really well.

The doc said that I could go on the computer. I just still see blurry a bit but that will go. Thanks for the good thoughts.

Yes, I ask the doc and he said that I could do it if it wasn't painful.
