OT new eye tomorrow

Polly, you have every right to be focused on yourself. I would be and thank you for asking about Daniel.

He is hoping he will ride again - fortunately his breaks were 'clean'; and not fractures which I believe are harder to heal. He wants to get well enough to take my daughter to LA - plaster book and all. The prognosis is good and the drs have told him if all goes as planned he will ride again - I hope by the time he is well enough to do that, that he has changed his mind and try for something else. Whatever he decides, we will be right there for them.

Looking forward to seeing your first 'new eyes' quilt.

There was something strange about the news from LA tonight. I don't know if they'd decided not to have law enforcement or had declared that everybody could walk around nekkid unless it was for lustful purposes :) You've probably got plenty of time to decide if that's alarming or not. Polly

Shed some happy tears with me. This evening I was pressing a quilt block and my new eye 'turned on'. Mr. Esther was standing beside me and I squalled, "Honey, just look at this". Well, of course, it didn't look any different to him but for the first time, maybe the first time ever, I really saw the colors and the patterns. Best I can describe it - it's like taking off sunglasses smeared with greasy sun tan oil. Nice doctor says it will be about Sunday at noon for my eye / lens to really settle, adjust. Something. This is not to claim that my piecing and quilting are going to be any better. Probably will still have some chopped off points and wobbly 9 patches but oh my Golly. They sure are beautiful. Polly

Thank you. I may have shared more of the adventure than anyone really wanted to know but excuse myself with the possibility that my friends here will one day need to courage to 'do it' too. Polly

I seldom contribute here but have followed your messages because they are so full of joy, humor, and good information. I am so happy for you Polly! To be able to really see things again --- even your gators --- must be one of life's most glorious experiences! If you have sunsets down in the swamp, go look at one soon!

For no particular reason, new eyes brings to mind a paternity suit I clerked long ago. The judge asked the mother if she was a virgin at the time of conception. "Yes SIR, your honor," she proclaimed. "I've been a virgin 3 times." Well. Anyhow. I surely am enjoying seeing the collection of fabric here for the lst time. Expect me to go quite goofy in a quilt shop. Polly

Di, I had surgery more than 20 years ago for a "lazy eye" ( the muscle was pulling the eye outward.) It didn't hurt at all and I was happy about that. I am not dreading getting both eyes operated on. Barbara in SC

Hi Barbara,

I'm working my way up to having it done as well as saving for the operation - both my DH and I need to have it done. We are both OK for a while longer because it is not at that 'serious' stage yet.

Even with Medicare DH's cataract surgery was more than $700, so I sure know about saving up to have mine done! Barbara in SC
