On Wednesday morning I'm having cataract surgery and I admit to a little anxiety, but not much. After all it's only one eye, this time, and I can't see much out of it anyway. That is, I wasn't feeling very anxious until I started reading through all the paperwork this evening. I was actually ok with the form until I came to the paragraphs on possible complications. Yikes, it's quite a list. You know those ads on TV for prescription medications? If you listen carefully to all the possible side effects you wonder why anyone would ever risk taking Xyzqa or whatever it is. Of course I am going to go ahead with the surgery and will sign the form. I'm not even going to Google the definition of 'uveitis.'
