I think I'm over the worst. I had an appt this morning with my regular eye doctor.. my vision is improving. No pressure on the eyeball, no infection. The slowdown seems to be caused by a build-up of fluid (edema) on the left side of that eye which he said happens. I am on a different kind of eye drop, using a drop every hour for 8 hours today, every 2 hours for the following two days and then every 3 hours. I see him again Tuesday. The fog is gone, the center blurring is still there but I can almost work around it. I THINK we're going to hold off on the other eye's surgery for awhile and stay with glasses; I'm not ready yet to face this again with a wedding coming up - the other cataract is small and it's not bothering me right now and for now he agrees with me. Thank you for the continuining email which I'm trying to answer between putting eye drops in! Hopefully, by Monday when I make the Barren Co posts I'll be seeing much clearer. I want to announce then a new book called the 2006 Kentucky Almanac published by the Thomas Clark Foundation - it is really nice and a lot of you would benefit I think from getting a copy of this book. I'll explain it Monday - and I will not get a cent for plugging it! See you Monday!
