The surgeries for my cataracts in early June went fine, my eyesight is better than 20/15 in both eyes now. as I mentioned before, I just have to wear reading glasses for anything closer than about 4 feet out, since the replacement lenses they put in only cover far vison. Everything is so sharp and clear, and colors much more vibrant, since the catarats really clouded my vision over the past three years - watching anime on the big projection screen in my theater room is now like watching it with HDR, it's so vivid looking. And subtitles are a breeze now, I'm a sub-only viewer and it was getting hard for me to even read subtitles before the operations.
But I really haven't been able to enjoy my new eyesight much, since within a few days after the surgeries I developed a bad case of Jaundice and that made my whole body itch wildly from the biliruben buildup, and even my eyes were all yellow and burning too. Turns out the cause of the Jaundice is a cancerous growth on my pancreas, which was blocking the bile duct from my liver. The doctors performed an endoscopy and put a stent in the duct to open it up, but I now have major pancreatic cancer surgery scheduled for two weeks from today, and I have to travel to a big hospital in Philadelphia for the operation, as it's too major to do at a hospital near me. So, I'll be down and out and off the forums here for at least a month or so, until I recover enough from that. Ugh.
