Painting and other things
I’m quite overdue a post, but I’ve been busy, busy, busy…
Yesterday I had my left eye lasered – a laser capsulotomy because the capsule behind the artificial lens was getting cloudy. I’d been warned this might happen, though I’d been under the impression it was because of the steroid drops, and that it was a kind of clean up thing. In fact it’s something that commonly happens with cataract ops, and it sounds like it should be a one off as it actually makes a hole in the capsule.
It really wasn’t a pleasant thing, even though numbing drops meant I couldn’t really feel much. She put a large contact lens over the eye and then held onto that to keep the eyeball still while she zapped with the laser. It took a while longer than I’d been told, presumably because my capsule was ‘a bit thick’ and I wasn’t enjoying it one bit.
Anyway , it’s done now, and I think it has helped, I’m pretty sure my vision in that eye is sharper now, so the clouding must have been more bothersome than I’d thought.
In happier news, I’ve finished my Bayduck Tapestry giant duck, and she’s gone to Hastings for the trail starting in June. Now I’m working on two giraffes for Edinburgh’s trail. One’s finished and varnished, the other is getting there.
Yes, they are tall! 2.5m, to be exact.
