My New Eyes

I had my second eye surgery this past Tuesday. Both surgeries went well. It is pretty amazing what they can do these days. I had a rough time after the first surgery because I only had the one eye done. Things would seem blurry off and on all day long, and were especially bad in fluorescent lighting. Now, I can see GREAT at a distance, but things are very blurry up close. My doctor says this is normal and expected, and that it will take time for my brain to train itself what to focus on. In the meantime, it is just very frustrating!!

Some of my favorite things about my new vision:

1. Colors...they are so much more vibrant than I thought they were...especially black and green.
2. Austin's hair. It is darker than I thought it was. And there is more of it!
3. Our carpet. I know it sounds dumb, but I like to look at it now, because I can see each little piece...it still looks good after nearly 3 years!
