This morning I went for a post-op checkup at the hospital. The ophthalmologist took a look at my recently-operated left eye and confirmed what I had suspected all week—there was inflammation. I was told to increase my eye-drop usage from 4 times a day to 6 times, and will have to pay him another visit a week from now. It doesn’t help much with keeping my spirits up, but these things happen and I did practice good hygiene the past week. Hopefully this inflammation will clear up soon, otherwise I might need to have an antibiotic injection on the next visit.
Nevertheless, one has to look on the bright side too. It’s so nice to wake up in the morning, go over to the window, and peer clearly outside at the foliage, without wearing any glasses. It’s incredible that I couldn’t do this for the last 35 years or so…thank God I opted for the surgery.
That’s all the news I have for the time being. Tomorrow I resume work at the hotel (I must remember to bring my reading glasses along, heh)

You’ll be just fine in no time!!
I hope so, Doris…thanks!
I know how you feel. I hated to take the antibiotic, but I had no choice. Oh, the haze can irritate our eyes, throat and nose too. Meanwhile eat more fruits and veggies, ok? Hope I don’t sound like a ‘Big Ma Ma’ heh..heh..Take care!
I’m praying for your speedy recovery, Philip. Try to keep your spirits up. xoxo
Will do, Crystal. Thank you very much!
