[Nfbf-l] Gloria

[Judith Hamilton]

Hope it is a happy birthday for Gloria.  I can truly empathize with you and
Gloria.  Last year when I had the cataract surgery and lens implant in my
functional eye, I wondered if I would just have my same vision back when
they removed the patch the next day in the doctor's office.  I was so
grateful when I could see the E on the eye chart and things were clearer
than they had been.  I was very relieved and grateful just to have the
vision I had before the cataract started.  I hope everything goes well for
Gloria.
Judy
