Blinded By The Light

Okay, making this brief . . .

Yesterday, buoyed by stories of people having the operation and leaving with perfect vision, I had Lasik to correct my vision problems.

Let’s just say it didn’t go as well as I could have hoped.

I have become so sensitive to light that, pretty much, I can’t see.  Sunlight blinds me.  I can’t wath television or look at a video monitor because they’re too bright.  I can’t read because I can’t focus well enough.

Basically what I can do is sit in a darkened room and hope this goes away.  Which it probably will.

But in the meantime, please know that if you’ve sent me any email, I haven’t been able to read it.  If you’ve made any announcementx on your home page or on places like Facebook, I haven’t seen them.  if you need me to know something please telephone, bcause my ears and vocal cords still work perfectly well.

So anyway . . . here’s hoping for better days.

UPDAte, 18 hours later:  Things have improved somewhat.  I drove a car around the neighborhood this morning, and though it wasn’t comfortable, it was do-able.  I can wath TV, though it’s blurry.  And I can read a video monitor sprovided that it’s about five inches from my left eye, and I turn down the intensity.

So the trend is positive, though frustration remains the order of the day.
