Having put up with failing eyesight for the past couple of years, to the point now where I can no longer cycle (which was the only exercise I got!) and even though I'm blind in ONE eye already, I've opted to have the offending very large cataract removed in surgery this coming Friday.
If all goes well, I should have good vision (in what used to be my 'good' eye), although the blind one will of course stay blind.
The worry has always been that if the operation goes badly, I could end up with TWO blind eyes - hence the change of picture to dark glasses and a white stick.
No reason why it should, of course. I've had a reasonable amount of bad luck over the years, fuelled in no small part by my old alcoholic ways (11 years off the booze now), so I'm hoping the universe will at least nod in my direction on Friday and say 'Let's give the old sod a chance.'
Keep them crossed.

Now the other reason for me being here is the fact I want to wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS & A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR. See Allen you will be good & healthy all next year. Besides, I want Santa to come back on the foruum like he used to.
And hope Santa can find his picture........
