As seems to happen every winter, my eyesight is declining more rapidly again.
I see my eye doctor every six months and will be seeing him again soon.
There is another surgery that might help prolong my sight,
but the recovery is longer and I will not be able to do all my daily tasks
for an extended period and the risks are greater.
I am delaying this surgery in my "bad eye" until such time
as it may be necessary for me to function.
I may never have my "good eye" done
as I am dependent on this eye for most of my vision.
I use prescription eye drops several times a day,
which are a help.
I take every day one stitch at a time.
Just keep stitching ... <3

ReplyDeleteAs I grow older and the cataract grows and my fingers become more knarly I worry if some time in the future I will be unable to stitch. I can't imagine what you are going through. I hope your eye doc has some new found solution for you.
