cataract update

[Steven Maxwell]

 Ok I know some are tried of hearing about this but I have to tell you
yesterday only being the first day after surgery I feel like I have been
given Superman eyes went to the flying field and was able to watch the jets
at the Army base across the street during there full flight pattern before
I could only see them if they was real close to me, the models well now
they stick out like a sore thumb instead of searching for them. and this is
with only one eye done, the down side reading glasses
