Colors and Light

See that above picture? It is purple right? Well up until yesterday this wasn't purple to me. The doctor told me that I had a yellow cataract so think of putting a lens on your camera that was yellow. Every thing looks like that. Yesterday I kept asking Ron why was the swimming pool blue? It has been green for at least a year to me.

Today we walked around, I could see birds and I could see hummingbirds. I could see clouds racing across the sky. I can see my kids faces. Ron has the cutest little soul patch. I didn't notice it until yesterday.

The bad part is my freaking hair is gray!!!! I mean like I almost have a skunk white stripe. Oh and the wrinkles, I have been in denial I guess. I am old.  I am vain. Before the doctor today I put a tiny bit of eye liner on my good eye and lipstick and ear rings and a necklace. It didn't help. I look like my grand mother.

 

Do you remember in an earlier post when I talked about buying the quilt pattern to make? I picked it up last night and squinted at the directions and looked at the picture. What was I thinking?  Then it dawned on me, I was getting my eyes fixed, not having a brain transplant. I haven't got any smarter just because I can see. :)

 

I do go around mesmerized by all of the new things I see. I made dinner and put it in the crockpot. It was bliss to not have to read and read directions. The bad thing is my house is dirty. But the walls that I thought had become a ugly nicotine yellow color are back to being sunshine white. The wood in the house has a warm inviting color again. 

I still have a bubble on my lens to keep my cornea safe, but that should go away tonight then I can really see. It really is like high def. Ron had bought a new  computer monitor for me after Christmas and I know I wasn't as appreciative for it as I am now. It is so clear and I can see what I couldn't see before.

When we were driving this morning, it is like a new town. I kept oohing and asking has that always been there? It really is incredible. I didn't know that Sasha has a very fuzzy face.

Anyway, it is like being in a brand new world. I haven't been able to read in so long, I picked up a book today and I could see the words again. So many things.

Thank you so much for your comments and your prayers and your thoughts. I think waiting is the hardest thing to do. Without your thoughts and prayers I might have run screaming from the building. :)

Life is such an adventure,
