I Can See Clearly Now

Hello Everyone!

I've been quite inactive here at WA during the month of November, so much so in fact, that my WA rank has crept up 100 points or so.

But it's been for good reason. I had back-to-back cataract surgeries last month, each eye, two weeks apart.

Y'all, I feel like I just stepped into the Land of Oz !

The cataract in my left eye had been growing for several years and the one in my right, about two years. I can't believe how much this (literally) dimmed my outlook on life! (Life situations kept me from being able to have the surgeries til this year).

Now I feel rejuvenated and ready to jump back into my newly vibrant world, including Wealthy Affiliate! A trusted and respected Ambassador here recently blogged about making a schedule for creating and publishing posts in a timely manner and sticking to it. That is first on my to-do list!

I gotta say though, this newly acquired vivid vision is kind of a double-edged sword. Not only can I see each gorgeous, colorful leaf floating gently from the trees all the way down the street, the sparkle in my husband's eye from across the room, the nonchalant graceful beauty of my pussycat, Moonpie..... I can also see every wrinkle in my face and just how dirty my living room carpet actually is! But make no mistake; the good edge of the sword is much sharper than the other.

Although my husband is getting a bit tired of me exclaiming about the azure blue sky and asking things like: "Have the violets in our garden always been that purple?", he's been a prince throughout the whole thing. It's been a life-changing, enlightening experience and my doctor says I will keep this vision.

I guess what I want to tell y'all is this: I knew in my head that I was going to have cataract surgery and that I'd be able to see better. But I wasn't expecting this sudden reawakening and I realize that I'm just now experiencing something that others see every day and perhaps take for granted.

I've made a sacred vow that I will never take the gift of eyesight for granted again and whenever I feel myself getting angry or depressed, I'm just going to have a good look around me and appreciate the beauty.

My WA BFF Cyndi, "sang" this to me (via P.M.) right after my first surgery. "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone"... The rain is gone, the clouds are gone, the cataracts are gone!

Thanks for reading Y'all and Happy Holidays!!!

Sue

Thank you for saying so Cass, and I believe you're right! Thank you also for being glad for me and Happy Holidays! Spread the joy!

What a wonderful share Sue. Thank you and we are so happy for you. Cannot imagine how much better it must be to be able to see clearly now, even if you are looking at wrinkles or dirty carpet. Enjoy your new sight!!

Thank you, and you are so right! Even wrinkles and dirt look good to me now. Can't wait til I put up my Christmas lights this weekend! Take care and thanks for stopping by. :))

Great post. Welcome back!

Thanx so much Mark, it's great to be back! Best of luck!

maybe I need a pair of 3d glasses

3-D rose-colored glasses would be great! :-]

I can now I found my glasses, oops I mean shot Glasses of Whiskey

LoL! To each his own!! :-))

Good for you! Score one for medical technology. I love a lot of the videos you see now that thru new technology, people who have never seen, or seen colors. They all just stand and move there heads around unbelieving what they have missed. My mom had cataract surgery in the late 60's. No way could I have done what was entailed then. God Bless you and tell your husband how lucky he is.

Thanks so much Mark. Yes, medical technology is wonderful, it's so amazing what they can do these day.
I don't know what the surgery was like in the ' 60's but it's a piece of cake these days. The prep time takes longer than the surgery.
God Bless you too Mark, and as far as my husband is concerned, I'm the lucky one. Happy Holidays!!

Welcome back home :) glad the procedures went well

Thank you Marchelle, It's so good to be back too. :)))
