Thank you! I’ve found some workarounds with the eye- super large fonts for reading and writing. It gets tiring, but I can’t not read and once I read I need to review!

Thank you. I think eye doctors are particularly dense at managing patients’ expectations. I hope your vision continues to improve quickly!

Thank you! The worst part about it is I like to relax by reading! Not a good option right now. I can say that 6 days in the change in my distance vision is astonishing. To wake up and not need my glasses right away? Weird. Mid to near vision is slow in returning. And yes, the drops are annoying. Plus, they cloud your vision so it’s hard to know what’s working.

Oh, yay-I have that book on my TBR. Did you read her other book? 10 Minutes 38 Seconds?

Right now I’m reading Death on the Nile by Agatha Christie and it’s fantastic. I think I read it back when I was discovering Christie around the age of 12 or 13, but I’m not sure. The film will come out next year – Kenneth Branaugh – which is what prompted me to pick it up again!

I thought I would have perfect eyesight right away, but not so at all. It took a couple of weeks for each of my eyes to settle down. I had much fluctuation in my vision (Blurry to SuperBlurry), a lot of watering, and extreme sensitivity to light. It is great that my world is a brighter place now but I feel like Dracula at dawn when I step outside. Doctor says things are healing perfectly and that it can take months for the eyes to settle in to a new normal. Good luck with yours!

All I can say is WOW. The prose is beautiful and the story told from the viewpoint of a young girl and an old fig tree (sounds weird, but it isn’t) shows how interconnected we are and how we take our first home with us wherever we go.

We your blog readers will be here waiting and eager to read your book reviews when you are able to blog again. I hope your eye settles down quick. I hope you have audio books to listen to until you are able to read. I hear putting in eye drops multiple times a day is the worst part of cataract surgery. Take care.
