Thankful firsts

It is so easy to dwell on the negatives of cataracts and things one misses - particularly if you experience them younger than you ever thought you would.   Although I am almost a year out from surgeries I still think about eyesight every day - perhaps it’s not something I will ever take for granted or there will be days where I don’t think about the what ifs still to come. 

But today is a day to be thankful.  Went to my first 3D movie since the surgeries and was completely awestruck with the fact I could put on a pair of 3D glasses on my face that I didn’t have to keep repositioning over another pair of eye glasses.   I used to avoid 3D movies - finding the glasses a real distraction.

Anyone else struck by new experiences they now find enjoyable glasses free?

    Thanks for all the stories... love hearing them.  Wanted a thread to give people hope that there is a great life on the other side of IOLs and cataract surgery.
