Well done both daughters Cath.  I hope you were able to join in the celebrations.  My mum had both eyes done (at different times) and one was scratched in the process and it was very painful but it was just as good as the other when she had recovered from that and made a great difference to her so I hope yours is less painful now and on the way to feeling it is worthwhile.

Me too Cath....as Undercover P. Said it seems difficult to avoid the scratch, I had one too.  Good thing is my eyes have been great since so when soreness goes she will appreciate the lovely blue sky!

I've developed sore eyes for a different reason.  The glare of the computer screen.  Consequently I'm cutting down the amount of time I spend on the laptop.  At the moment I'm wearing sunglasses!  8) ;D

cath... Fantastic news about your daughters.. You must feel very proud.
Will this be your first grandchild.?


It seems that 'A scratch' is fairly common.. At least it will heal..

Everything will be alright in the end, and if it’s not alright, its not the end.

Who's Paul Nunn.

There are a shed-load of Paul Nunn's when I searched the name.

Just looking at the prize your daughter has been awarded makes me wonder if you and GrannyMac might live in the same neck of the woods Cath, or perhaps your daughter went away to uni.

I'm sure your eyes will be better soon. My mother had both done with a gap between and experienced no I'll effects that she complained about even though they detected an error with the first operation when she had the second. I'm sure she said something about a stitch being left in but may have got that wrong. She certainly experienced better eyesight after.

Marple's just up the road from me Cath. Nice place to live and a great flight of locks on the Peak Forest canal.

Well done to your granddaughter getting a first at Sheffield, I was in the Psychology dept there on Friday taking part in a survey.

I think Cath's daughter may have been at Sheffield Hallam GM.
