Progress with my cateract and a bit of dyslexia news

Me at the sheraton Hotel March 5th, photo taken by my missus. Had to grow the beard as I really couldnt shee yo shaving it lol

Hello all, hope all is well

Well, its been a month since my cateract operation. The healing process is going ok. In gereral my vision is very clear, colours are brighter, images sharper and clearer. Just took a lot longer than I anticipated to get over the operation. 

I will  still need glasses for reading and using the computer I think. But I will need a different prescription. I can still use my old glasses but I have to sit with my face very close to the screen for them to work. 

My middle vision is fine, I can watch tv, like I said, I can watch tv, play games etc without glasses. 

I think my long vision has improved and I believe I will still be able to drive, but I will need to get my eye tested again to see if I am still able to drive legally. I will need blue tinted galsses to drive.

My university dyslexia work is still going on but its still a bit slow. |I have been told it slow in study support in general. I think Universities are using assistive software without using specialists like me. 

I am planning to visit Business Gateway to get some advice on providing support privately.We will see who that goes. I used to do this face to face before COVID. But when my university work was very busy I had to drop it.

Anyway, #PeaceLoveGrooveyness from me,

I had the cateract removed from my right eye 20.02 26, road to recovery.

 

Me at home after my cateract op lol, looking handsome as ever lol

Hello, all, hope you are all keeping well.

I had the cateract removed from my right eye 20.02 26. Its 01.03.26 and this is my first blog since my cateract op. The photo is me when I got home after my cateract had been removed. It really was not painful, just uncomfortabe and awkward as I already struggle to see out of my left eye due to my stroke. 

The operation took about 30 minutes. Have to say my legs were a little wobbly so I had to be wheeled out of surgery and rest for about 30 minutes. Needless to say I struggled to see very much at all. 

Took about 3 hours for my eye to reopen. Then my sight was quite blurry and weird colours . I have to take drops in my eye for the next month. I cannot bend down, lift anything to heavy as it may impact of my new lense. Taking  easy and me do not compute lol.

Its going to take about a month or so to recover barring any complications. My long vision has imprpoved, colours are brighter and images clearer. But its still quite bright though. But I already have difficulty with light in general before my op. 

I have a cateract in my left eye which, even though, it was  damaged by my stroke last year, I will get it removed as well. I call my left eye my 8 bit eye. I can see out of it but its a bit like an old 8 bit compter.

I did a little dyslexia work on Wednesday, only an hour or so but I enjoy my work.

Anyway, thanks for reading, please leave a comment or a like etc. Maybe share as well. That way I dont feel like I am not just blogging in the wind lol. When I am up to it I will make a new podcast from this blog.

#PeaceLoveGrooveyness to you all
