Hi Everybody,
Well good morning and it is now 24 hours since I had the cataract removed. I was very anxious about it but the people at the CHEC clinic where very reassuring and made me feel more at ease. It was not a painful procedure, but it is uncomfortable and a lot of water is used to irrigate the eye.
My face was covered with something and my eye was exposed through the covering. I had to lie perfectly still but in fifteen minutes it was all done. An eye shield was placed over the eye for protection and it has to stay on until this morning and then be worn at night for the next week.
The vision will clear over the next few days but even through the eye shield I can see colours are a lot brighter. The next move is an appointment with my optician for a check up and then the second eye can be done.
This is how I have found the surgery and I have been really honest with you. If you are going for a cataract to be removed you will probably be as nervous as I was but don’t worry …. All will be well.
In the meantime I have done the draw for yesterday’s offering and the name today is
Barbara Youngs
Would you email me your postal address please to

and I will get it in the post to you straight away.
More tomorrow…
Hugs xx
Glad to hear it went well ♥️
ReplyDeletePleased to hear that your cataract surgery went well. I'm sure anyone would feel anxious but as you say it's not as bad as you might imagine - more uncomfortable than painful and as you say a lot of water is involved!! You will find that colours appear much brighter, we tend not to notice the gradual deterioration in our sight and things come as a bit of a surprise after this procedure. Take care
ReplyDeleteI have noticed a difference in colours already and it is quite spectacular. White looks white and not sepia anymore. I now cant wait to get the other one done. Cxx
DeleteGood to hear all has gone well for you Christina, onwards and upwards, till the next one....congrats to the winner...luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteGood news - glad it all went well. Take it easy for a while and here's to the next one !

ReplyDeleteThank you Donna. I was cared and relieved when it was all over but the change is amazing and I am happy with the result Cxx
DeleteCongrats Barbara on your wonderful Win! Big Happy Dance for you. I hope you will show us what you've made.
ReplyDeleteHi Christina, I'm so pleased it's over and done with for you, now the second one won't be so scary. I found that keeping a written record of the drops helped. By the second or third day you'll begin to wonder if you'd done the lunchtime or teatime one. Unless you are more technical than me and can set four alarms on your phone to remind you!! Congratulations on the draw Barbara x
ReplyDeleteGood advice Maureen and I will keep notes of the drops Cxx
