I haven't posted a picture here in a long time, and frankly, I haven't really been taking a lot of pictures. Just been busy. BUt I'll post some pictures of this sunset I saw a couple months ago. It was actually taken a few days before my eye surgery, so technically it's the last sunset I saw with 20/20 vision. I love sunsets, and during your lifetime you see hundreds of them, but every once in a while, you see one that makes you gasp for breath at its beauty. I tried to capture it as best I could, but these pics only give a glimpse of how massive the cloud formation was and how much it glowed in the setting sun.
Speaking of eye surgery, yesterday I had my monthly followup with the eye doctor. He checked out the eye and said that everything is healing really well. He noticed that I have a hemorrage in the inner part of my eye, which makes it look the whites of my eyeball is red (which is pretty obvious if you look at me). The eye was healing pretty well until I got the hemorrage, but he said things like that happen when there's too much pressure on my eye due to stress, strain, crying or eye rubbing.
I complained about seeing light spots in my line of vision when looking at light objects, and he explained that this is probably due to fluid being in the eye, which should drain on its own in about 6 months. We also talked about getting contacts again, and he wants me to heal a bit more before putting contacts in. Probably next month will be the time when I can get them. My eye still doesn't see 100%, 70% for that matter. About all I could see on the eye chart was the big 'E' - and that was WITH my glasses on. He explained that my prescription will change, but during the next several years, as the band begins to relax, my prescription in that eye will get better - not necessarily to the way it was, but the eye isn't going to see any worse than it is now.
Man, I can't wait to start wearing contacts again! Glasses are nice and all, but what I've noticed is that the frames I got sit pretty close to my eye, and my eyelashes brush against the glass. And I never realized this, but I've got some oily lashes, which then transfers onto my glasses and then I can't see, so I have to wipe them off. Eeech!
Regular eye checkups, people! Learn from me!

Posted by: bumblebootie on October 7, 2004 07:39 AMGoog to hear your eye is healing well. i wouldn't be able to keep my hands from rubbing them.
Isn't nature beautiful? all you have to do is look and take a photo. That's how I approach it.
Posted by: Mona on October 7, 2004 10:58 AMIf those are the photos the real thing must have looked like a Hawaiian sunset ~ ~ check out some of the new eyeglasses Yano. There are some fairly attractive ones with wire rims on top and rimless on the bottome that are very light, and as close to invisible as glasses can get. I actually wear mine most of the time now...as ya get older your eyes get drier and it's difficult to wear hard lens.
