Things are still going well with my eyesight. I think. When I woke up this morning I was convinced that it had gotten worse again. But I think that was just my eyes needing to readjust from the night. Maybe. I don’t know. It feels like maybe it’s a tiny bit worse? But still lots better than before the last treatment. It’s hard to tell sometimes, it still varies. But I’m going to the eye doc on Friday for a post-treatment checkup. I don’t know if it’s possible for secondary cataracts to come back once lasered away. We’ll see what he says.

But even though I still have that fear of things turning worse again, I am also still enjoying the improvements. Very much. The little things. Like being able to read the text when I want to program my DVR. That makes it a lot easier. And I am now running my computer in 1024×768 resolution mode. Which is a big step up from the 800×600 I have been using for years now. Modern day computing really isn’t made for 800×600 anymore. It’s a big relief to be using a higher resolution again. I really hope that will last.

On Monday I paid a visit to the goats. It was nice to see them clearer. Grethe is growing up quite nicely. Here is a video: youtube.com/watch?v=gC0M8XkfHdo. Starting off with a little snow in Gellerup. There is still snow, but it’s more ice now. Which actually makes it harder for me to get around. I’d rather have some soft snow. Still pretty, though. And you can see the gloveymittens that Debster got for me. They are quite excellent. I’m very happy with them. Also in the video are the horsies and Bodil comes around with Sif. Good times with everyone.

I could see the traffic lights on my way home. And the clock on my cell phone. This little improvement just makes so many things that little bit easier.

Tomorrow I’m having a plumber over for tea. Or well, actually to take a look at my toilet. It’s been running. And I can’t catch it!

Sorry, just working on my standup act.

Also, thanks go out to Belinda who got me a gift certificate for amazon. I am planning to use it tomorrow when the complete Scrubs collection goes on super sale. Merry christmas to me! … And you too, of course.

Just a little update on the eyesight. Now, a couple of days after the last treatment, it is still good. In fact it is better than it has been for a long while. Maybe as good as it was right after the lens replacement surgery in the summer. So far I am very happy. It is everything I had hoped for when I went in on Friday.

I keep noticing the little things that are clearer. The first thing was the tiles on my bathroom floor. Small, rectangular ones. With dark lines between them. Now when I look at them I see the square mosaic patterns. Instead of a uniform, grey blur.

And when the Korean couple Sun and Jin speak on Lost I can read the subtitles. I can sit back in my comfy chair and read them. A couple of days ago I literally had to lean in so my head was inches away from the tv screen, to even hope to read some of them.

I am very pleased. And also scared. Because usually when something good happens, something bad soon follows. But for now, it’s good. And I am happy about it.
