I underwent cataract surgery yesterday and it was less of a hassle than
the lasik surgery I had seven or eight years ago.

My right eye was the problem (of course - the problems are always on the
right!), and in 15 minutes, I was semi-out from anesthesia, the doc
opened up my eye, removed "the cloud" and put in the plastic
replacement.
Your right eye was clouded all this time? No wonder you had difficulty
seeing the "right" side of the issues.



Indeed. I can see clearly now; the right side of the issues is completely
distorted!

Distorted? You need a new eye doctor. They should be clear as day to you
now.
Ah, the dentist is now an eye expert, eh?
From www.prk.com
It's normal to feel itching and mild discomfort for a while after
cataract surgery. Some fluid discharge is also common, and your eye may
be sensitive to light and touch. If you have discomfort, your eye
doctor may suggest a pain reliever. After 1-2 days, even moderate
discomfort should disappear. In most cases, healing will take about 6
weeks.

Some common problems can occur after surgery. These may include
increased pressure, blurring from swelling, inflammation (pain,
redness, swelling), and sometimes bleeding. More rare and serious
problems include infection, loss of vision, or light flashes. If you
experience increasing pain or a worsening of vision after surgery, you
should contact your eye doctor.

Hmmm. So far, the only side effects I've experienced are hair growth on
the top of my head, and 2" more where it counts.


Palm?

Yeah, my hairy palm is 2" bigger. That's it!

Your two-inch hairy palm is bigger than *what*?

BTW, I've still not had a good opportunity to go get the boat wet. You?
