Little Blessings ~ A New Start
On Thursday, I had my first of several eye surgeries to improve and prolong my vision. This was the initial surgery for my left eye and all went well. I saw the eye surgeon the next morning and he was pleased with the new implant lens but I was having some issues with swelling and blurry vision. The swelling is better which is a good sign and my vision is a little better in that eye, but I have a long way to go.
My prescription glasses have been fitted for the time being with a clear lens for my left eye so that I can use the right eye lens. It is an odd lopsided feeling. My eyes need to learn to work together again. Have to teach these old eyes new tricks.
I see the eye surgeon again on Thursday to assess the healing. . Eventually I will have to get a new prescription for my glasses but that is sometime much further down the road. Even after all the surgeries, I will always have to wear some form of prescription glasses. There has been no discussion yet as to when I may have the second surgery, the first one on right eye, as my left eye needs to heal, and I have another significant health issue that has been scheduled for surgery.
On Wednesday, the day before the surgery,
I cut and bagged the pieces for a this new quilt.
I have had these fabrics in my stash for a few years,
just waiting for its time to sew, about two yards of the border print with blocks and half yards of the other two fabrics.
To these I am adding some fat quarters of soft and pretty tone on tones and also some "I Spy" type blocks of little farm animals cut from scraps left from other projects.
I love scrappy quilts!
