Texasgranny6's Journal, 02 September 2023

Cataract surgery went fine on Thursday -- no need to be as nervous as I was. Already see much clearer. Colors are brighter and sharper. I can read some things without my glasses now. That was an unexpected benefit since I have astigmatism and have always had to correct for that. I chose not to have it corrected with the surgery -- more economical, as well as the fact that after wearing glasses for some 65 years, I'd feel undressed without them. A real drawback to seeing better is when I look in the mirror and see a wrinkled old lady looking back at me. I wonder who she is!

Getting my appetite back in control, back down to 164 and hope to drop that a little more by being careful today. Had a delicious mocha PB2 breakfast smoothie.

Still no rain, almost 30 days now, but temps have dropped into the 90s. Hoping to garden again, once the eye surgery is healed. Huge cracks in ground from our drought and soil in my garden feels really dead.

Cataract surgery is amazing and fairly painless. My husband is very happy with his. I agree at the wrinkles comment. When I put on my reading glasses, I see the wrinkles, ragged cuticles, age spots. LoL better to keep the glasses off!

I look much better in the mirror when I don't have my glasses on! No wrinkles and I don't need makeup. I was told I will need cataract surgery in a couple of years.

My husband had worn glasses for 40 years, but after cataract surgery he only needs readers. We were both surprised!

courage for the heat and the water, this summer we also had very strong and long heat, no rain either, but now it's better, so keep hope 🤗
