I feel so much brighter of eye, though. It's made me realise that my brain must have been disregarding the obstruction to my vision - that is, I didn't consciously see the mole but it must have been blocking the corner from my sight because there's a difference now, even without glasses on. I keep putting the damn things down and losing them, though. I can't read with them on or prepare food, nothing close to.
So, enough about that, end of story. From tomorrow, I'll tell you a bit about my mother. I'm afraid there are no early photos of her though. Hardly anything from her childhood was kept - her grandmother's glove box and portrait (which I don't really know what to do with) and that's it. Her father, when he was losing his sight, decided to burn all photos and memorabilia, which was a great pity. So the portrait will be painted in words. As I said the other day, I have written about her before so it'll be based on posts from six years ago. Only a few of you will have read them and fewer remember them, so I hope that you will excuse me as Blue Witch has kindly done.

The surgeon seems to have done a great job.
Varifocals?
And as for the repeats... call them the ZZC, I can guarantee that no-one will remember all the details - or probably even any at all. I've reposted things laods of times and no-one has ever noticed.
It hardly seems worth forking out for varifocals and getting used to them, just for a fortnight without a contact lens. But I've just had to swap glasses because my distance ones are too strong to read the computer screen by, so it's a bit of a nuisance (I'd still need two pairs because of playing music).
He did it with a single swipe of his scalpel, I was very impressed. Great confidence. There may be a slight incurve on my eyelid, but that's because of the growth inside it, not his fault.
Considering that you had surgery on it yesterday, I think you're looking damn fine woman!
xx
I'm not surprised your vision seems clearer - that was quite a big growth you had there. Funny how we don't see what's right in front of our eyes - or in your case, right in your eye. :)
You are very brave and hugely matter of fact about it.
I did my worrying a few weeks ago, so it was over and done with. And now I'm so pleased it's done, I don't care if I look a bit of a wreck for a few days.
Looking good, I'm sure you are, both at the world and the world at you.
Maybe just a monocle to wear until the contact lens is allowed. Like H. Poirot or Mr. Peanut.
You do look fabulous in that photo and the eye swelling is very minimal.
Ziggi love, I shouldn't really even have mentioned it considering how stoical others are. Thank you xx
Bertie Wooster! Yes you're right, Anon, I've got to get me a monocle. Fabulous is a bit OTT, but I'll forgive you :)
I think you look delightful! xx
You look lovely and bright-eyed.
And I shall look forward to reading about your mother as I haven't seen any old posts about her.
