Rusty, you take it easy. Being out in heat like that is very bad. And try not to lift heavy items. I know that is hard to do when you have no one to help. I hope all will be well soon.

I went to the catarack center today and they dilated my eyes so I am having a real hard time seeing. I will need to lay off the computer until this goes away.

I have decided I am NOT having my cataracks removed at this time because I can see fine except up close and NOW with my eyes dilated.

thanks Spunky. I have my eyes dialited every 6 months, but time before last I had a hRd time seeing to drive home. My DIL offered to take me to my last appointment and I turned her down at first, then rethought it. I’m glaD I did.

For me it’s hard to accept help as I’ve always been the one that helped others.

I hate having my eyes dilated. I think it’s so weird how they dilate eyes and then send us out to drive home. With no liability. I guess we could walk home or get a ride.

Normal growing cataracts grow very very slowly. You should have years before you need to consider surgery. Mine grew fast because of steroids, and then surgery kept getting canceled because of covid. I couldn’t even see to find my car much less Drive it.
