In a little while, son Travis, formerly known here as Puff, will pick me up and take me to Dallas for cataract surgery.
One eye at a time, which is good. Left eye today, right eye next week.
Been needing this for some time.
Thanks for prayers and happy thoughts.

Prayers for a great outcome/recovery nunn.
Prayers from here, David! A friend of mine recently had this done and she's absolutely amazed at how much better her vision is now.
Hope it all goes well for you!
Prayers for good results. Having the same thing next month. Everyone says it is a great thing.
Sure need it, vision at a distance is ok but up close, fuzzy to say the least. Hard to read and type correctly.
There is always apprehension before a surgery. They have got cataract surgery down to where it is pretty much routine. I have known a lot a people that have had it done and never any problems. Making sure you use the eye drops is the most important phase of recovery.
Try not to worry, everything is going to go just fine. I will include you in my prayers.
Prayers for the best outcome possible.
I did this 7 years ago…it amazed me how much better my eyesight was after the surgery
Prayers from Colorado.
Those eye drops are key to a quick and full recovery. You'll be seeing clearly in no time.

Good luck with the procedure and prayers.
I had laser surgery in January for Glaucoma and will be going back in October for decision on cataract surgery.
Then you'll be singing "I can see clearly now".
The procedure is awkward but not painful and you will be amazed at what the world looks like when it's over. Best of luck to you.
David, I had it done about 10 years ago and it was a piece of cake. The weird thing was is that you aren't completely out. I could still see and talk but didn't feel a thing and wasn't the least bit nervous. You will love the results.
End of Sept for me, right hazy close my good eye can't see if car coming crossing road to get mail,this will be my 3rd surgery for human repair this year
Prayers sent!
As other have stated..….USE the eye drops!
Prayer and best wishes. Tell Travis hello.
Like having a new set of eyes. Let me know what you think when you they remove your patch.
I have had both eyes done . Pure cakewalk. Well worth the effort.
I wanna add to the chorus. Good luck Sir.
And if you don't want cake, then a piece of pie😉
Always on your side David.
Good luck
How did it go?
Cataract surgery is easily the most successful medical procedure that has ever come down the pike. I have had it done on both eyes.
Amazing what they can do for the eyes this day and time. Good luck Nunn.
How you doing, Nunn??
Best wishes David.
Wife had both hers done, has use cheaters for up close but her far vision is good
Had mine done 2 yrs ago. Was told I didn't need it yet. Switched over to a new doctor and was told I would not pass the eye test for drivers lic. renewal. She was right. Asked her for a referral and she sent me to a fine surgeon that took care of me and all I had to do is follow the eye drop protocol. I don't even need readers and I am 79. In fairness, I never had prescrption glasses until I was 72. Most aren't that blessed. The deputy that gave me the eye test for my licsense was completely gobsmacked when I passed without any glasses. I didn't tell him I got new lenses the few weeks before.
you’ll like the results!!
Years ago I had my second eye done. I was pretty sedated when the doctor showed up and ask if I knew why I was there.. My drunken response; “a better question for you, Doc, is do you know why ‘you’ are here” I could hear everyone in the operating room, start giggling and laughing. 🤣

He must be watching the neighbor with his telescope with new enthusiasm 😃
LOL,^^^^
Both done in 2018. No problems since. Hope you have as good an outcome as me.
Just checking in to see how it worked out, David.
How did it go?

No word from Nunn? It has been a week.
Nunn was always an Eagle. With the vision of a mole.
Thanks to all! Second surgery was 3 days ago.
I'm still supposed to avoid close in work, but I can do it a few minutes at a time.
All is well!
Great update. Take it easy, heal complete.
Good news!
Good to hear all went well……
Good news David, listen to the Dr. And keep on keepin' on.
Glad all is well.
I'm glad you are doing well. I've heard good things about these procedures from a friend that had to have it done. I hope you are shocked at how well you see when you are fully recovered like my friend was.
