Yesterday was a minimal day - I started the day out with my one-day checkup at the eye doctor (I'm currently seeing 20/30 which he says is pretty good, so I'm happy with that). I know my eye will heal in the usual amount of time that any bodily injury heals - 6-8 weeks for total healing for most people. I decided to grab an older set of eyeglasses for the day, instead of my current set. I might pack both old and new in my backpack since I have the ability to carry both with my laptop.

Seeing 20/30 is a big improvement for my vision, and I'm already looking forward to my next surgery on the 24th. After all of this, I should have perfect vision for a while. Of course, my eyes are old, so that perfect vision won't stick around for long. But I'll enjoy it while I have it. |
I went to Target and to the grocery store, picked up a TON of veggies, and came home to make a BUNCH of Ogre Juice (Alkagizer). I have four glasses in the fridge for the next four days of work, and four containers in the freezer for the other days. I want to increase my intake of Alkagizers from four a week to 6-7 a week to help my healing. The nutrition I get from my Ogre Juice is massive, so I wanted to build that nutrition to help my body heal before my next eye surgery on the 24th.
 |
I actually did end up buying some fresh broccoli to add to my Ogre Juice in these eight glasses. Of course, I'm always changing from one to another thing anyway. I don't think I've made the recipe the same way twice in more than two years. This time I also added some baby cucumbers that the store had on sale. They were SO cute! Not even a full finger length long. |
I have to agree with everyone who told me, "If you have to get surgery, get cataract surgery. No pain, quick results, all good." I'm agreeing, 100% with everyone who said that to me. I'm getting slight flashes of light or color on the edges of my eye, but those will also go away. Unfortunately, I didn't get the "psychedelic" experience with the anesthetic that some patients report. Oh well, LOL.
 |
I always wanted to experience a psychedelic vision when I was young, and still want to. But my body simply isn't wired to that, and I've never had one - even in circumstances where other people report them. *sigh* I'm too planted in reality, I guess. |
I allowed myself to sleep in until 4:00 am instead of my usual 3:15 am, and I'm regretting it right now. I had a lovely sleep, and an excellent meditation round, but shortly after my shower, while heating my water for my morning tea, DH awakened and he's in the computer room right now, the TV is on the financial channel (loudly) and he's in the middle of a sneezing attack. I love peace and quiet in my mornings. There's no peace and quiet once DH has awakened. *sigh*
 |
I'm all in favor of peace and quiet. It's something I don't get often, although I try to get some every morning in my morning meditation time. Sometimes that's the only peace and quiet I get during the day. |
So, on that note, I'm wrapping this up. I'll be at the shop today, so trial by fire for my new eye. I'm wearing my favorite set of older eyeglasses since it's weaker than what I've been wearing. This is the set that I'll get re-lensed when my eyes finally settle down. If I'm actually seeing really well - 20/20 or so - I'll just get them redone without a prescription, but with clear lenses or photo-sensitive lenses. I like wearing glasses - they're face jewelry and I'm all into that. My eyes without glasses aren't attractive, so I love wearing them - just at the correct prescription. So ... I'm out of here. I'll try to catch up with the past two days of your posts and comment by the end of Saturday. It'll take me a bit of time, but it's so worth it to find out what all of you, my on-line friends, have been up to lately. Slava Ukraini.
