Tom's Cataract Surgery Update /festival photos/ reminder

Tom's cataract surgery was yesterday, and he's having a tough time with it. Turns out, the center of his pupil has a scar on it, as it dried out, and his eyelid pulled off the cells that were trying to develop over it, and heal it. So, this morning we went back to the eye surgeon (regular follow up appt.), and the surgeon gave him a lubricating gel to put in his eye, to keep it moist. He said it's felt like sand or something under his eyelid, and it's painful. His eye is all red from the irritation, and he's been unable to read. - Quite a difference from his other eye experience. Of course, dry eye will cause problems. It should be better tomorrow (we hope)... as he has to go back to work.

- REMINDER - Halloween is only 5 weeks away, so start planning now!  - Tom told me "no superheroes this year!" He said he wants me to do something really different. I told him I don't want to be anything other than a superhero. Would you?
