@Blue_Bird - I'm so happy you have a new cat! Getting a new pet is wonderful. How is he doing with Mustachio?
@raspberrytorte - I already had to have cataract surgery some years back, I think when I was 42. But it ended up being the best thing that ever happened to my eyesight. My eyes were so bad, my contact lenses were -9 and -10, and I couldn't see ANYTHING well. Now, I'm slightly far-sighted, I need drugstore reading glasses, but I can driving without any corrective vision. No more contact lenses drying out and popping out, I can see the clock when I wake up, my glasses no longer cost $800+. But my cataracts grew fairly quickly, so I only had to deal with how crappy they made my vision for a couple of years. My sister is 41, and she was just told she has cataracts too and that maybe in 5 years or so they'll operate on hers, so you're not alone.
Hope everyone here under the weather starts feeling better soon!
