   I can relate to that to your experience. :)

   Very thoughtful of you, Maurice. :)

   Ah.. Benjamin Button's syndrome? ;)   
      
   I wanted to check in a bit. I had cataract surgery in my right eye on Oct 2   
   and my   
   left is scheduled for the 16th. Surgery went well, very smooth, no problems. My   
      
   distance vision in my right eye is darn near perfect. Don't even need glasses   
   for   
   that eye anymore. I haven't even been wearing my glasses since I got surgeried.   
      
   Still pretty awkward though considering the vision in my left eye is very bad,   
   but   
   I expect that to get corrected from the surgery this Friday. I'll still need   
   glasses for reading.   
      
   Using the computer is still a bit challenging. I got some OTC reading glasses   
   that   
   make the right eye good, but not the left. Again, after surgery, the reading   
   glasses should help with that eye as well, or I can get a prescription pair   
   about   
   4 weeks after surgery.   
      
   How are things on your end?
