August 4 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Yes, I'm sure it will. Thank you.

Yes. I'm still getting used to the light in my kitchen. It's very bright. Even in the office, it feels brighter than before. Tomorrow I have my other eye done and Friday I'll have the followup on that eye. I have my final followup on the 25th. I'm guessing it will be a complete eye exam. Then I'll know what I'll do for glasses. I know I'll need them because of the astigmatism. I'm glad you're thankful for your home and food.

@markgichuhi Thank you. My left eye is doing well, so I expect the right won't take long to heal.

@just4him I wish you well during the Thursday surgery.May you have a speedy recovery too

@just4him I know that the doctor asked to my mom to buy very dark sunglasses and to wear them for several days after surgery.

@LadyDuck Mine is dark and cut the glare. They have a yellow tint to them.

I finally found my sunglasses. I wore them yesterday because the sun hurt my eye.

@just4him is cataract a common condition? My father had a cataract surgery when he was 75, I think but my mother did not have that.

It's easy with nothing to fear and you will see much better if you ever get cataracts. Which as we age is something that happens.

@Alexandoy Yes, it's a common condition.

@JudyEv They are totally bright and awesome!

Yes, I have. I still have floaters. They said those won't go away. However, everything is brighter. Right now the brightness hurts my eye a bit. It's going to take getting used to. Tomorrow I have the other eye done. It's going to take a few days to get used to the new colors and brightness of everything. I'll need a new eye exam and I think that's the final followup at the end of the month. I expect my glasses won't be as strong as they are now. I'll still need glasses due to the astigmatism. Otherwise, they said I wouldn't need them anymore. It's a new bright world and I'm loving it as I get used to it. The meeting went well. Though I wasn't prepared. I forgot about the assignment and didn't prepare anything to read. Though, I did give input for those who read.

@just4him Someone else mentioned the brightness of colours after she'd had her cataracts done.

I have United Healthcare Advantage and enjoy those same benefits. I'm very happy for you. That's wonderful you will qualify for SSI also. Yes, God is good all the time.

@just4him I have been watching what I'm eating. I blame it on post-menopause. Yes, I went for a blood test and to do groceries but am barely over 3,000 steps. I'm just too tired today. Bad sleep doesn't help with weight loss either.

@patgalca No, it doesn't. I hope you get a good night's sleep tonight. Menopause isn't fun. I hope you have better days to come.

You will still be walking when you do your grocery shopping. I'm sorry you're not losing weight. Check what you're eating. Your diet could be the reason why you're not losing, not the walking.

@just4him I remember when my mother had hers done 11 years ago, she had to wait 2 weeks in between having each eye done.

@Juliaacv They must be doing them faster now.

Thank you. Yes, it is a process. Tomorrow I'll have the second surgery. I'm so blessed to have my eyesight restored.

Happy Birthday to your sister. I'm glad you reached the $5 payout on Survey Junkie.

@Deepizzaguy You're welcome.

@just4him Thank you for the kind wishes.

Thank you. I'm glad you completed your targets and worked out.

@just4him Yes.

@thelme55 It's been good. Thank you.

I hope you get new glasses soon. Thank you. That's wonderful they are organizing your birthday party. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

@just4him I hope soon. Thank you. Have a nice Wednesday.

I'm glad your family is safe and healthy.

@just4him Thanks Valerie

I'm glad you like turkey bacon too. I'm also glad you had a beautiful day for walking the dogs.

Thank you. I'm glad it did too.

I'm sorry August is a sad month. I hope you can get through it with a minimal amount of anxiety.

I'm glad they were. Thank you. Yes, being able to see is a wonderful gift.

Thank you. I'm looking forward to another good day.

Thank you. It was.
