I had my cataract surgery yesterday and everything went fine. I even got to look at it after it was taken out! Funny looking thing---it was a gelatinous glob of golden goo with dark flecks in it. Anyway, I was awake during the surgery. I know have about a half inch incision above my left iris, my eyeball is red and angry looking and my face is bruised and swollen but all is going well. If a few more days I should be able to see again and without my glasses! Right now it's really blurry though and still pretty sore.
