My wifey had the first of her cataracts removed today. After she saw what she was missing, she can't wait until the other eye is done but has to wait two weeks.
That is great to hear and hoping for a speedy recovery so she can get the other one taken care of.

Good evening Illinois and Ford Truck enthusiasts, Ken, Neil, and Sean!

79° and mostly cloudy today, Severe thunderstorms are in store for this evening, maybe we'll get a great light show.

The weather guys on TV have already started their play by play of events.

Thanks guys, She did great overnight. She is amazed at how vivid the colors are. She'll be double amazed after the other eye is done.

Howdy Don!

Surgery was yesterday, she did really well, last night while watching TV she noticed how vivid the colors were, now she can't wait to get the other eye done.

She had an appointment at 7:30 this morning for a check up to see how she was doing.
