Well, here I sit at the computer without glasses. Wow! I’ve been wearing glasses for about 25 years and still sometimes go to straighten them only to find they aren’t there. The lens implants are working great. Chemo doesn’t mess with your vision, but evidently the steroids in the pre-meds cause cataracts. The fix for cataracts these days is lens implants. So, I now no longer look at the world through a green-brown haze and can read without glasses! I await the final verdict about the glasses until next Wednesday, when I have my week-after surgery appointment. But colors are beautiful now and I noticed that I have a renewed interested in looking at the stars.
Learning Moment: Sometimes good can come from bad things.

Situations like these allow us to seek the silver lining and be optimists in any situation. I am so happy for you, and jealous that you don’t have to wear glasses any more!
