Had my first cataract surgery today. Involved fasting, as most surgery does. And then a pigout.
Had the breakfast bar at Frisch's. Mostly proteins, followed by fruit, but i did sneak in a few potatoes. And some cottage cheese. One biscuit and gravy. They didnt have banana slices in strawberry glaze. Peaches and pears were canned and served in syrup. delicious.
Later I had two slices of pizza.
That was it for today.
Just as well, as the surgery, even though in my eye, has a lot of restrictions on activity.
NO:
bending
lifting
stooping
carrying
jolting
jostling
until i see the doctor again next week.
So that leaves out all but the most mild forms of exercise, and even that can be fraught. Walking can lead to stumbling and falling, especially when your vision needs to adapt to new parameters. (I hope that word works here; I cant think of another, better one.)
Even my lil guy throwing himself at me was a little scary, because of the jolting jostling thing, but hey, it's good to be missed!
