YIPPEE! Cataract surgery is complete ... an hour prep; fifteen minutes of surgery; and an hour in recovery. That's all there was to it.. Will take it easy today; see the doc in the morning; and, given a clean bill-of-health then ... it's back to normal. Well, okay some eyedrops for the next few days and a patch for sleeping (only) for a few days ... but basically back to normal.

(Glad that's over with.)
