New Lease of Life.

Well guys n Gals.  I had my R/H eye caterac surgery on Thursday. Patch came off on Friday morning. All I can say is WOW !  I was really blind. It's like looking at a whole new world.  Surgery was absolutely painless and very quick. Not even an ounce of pain that night. Amazing. Just over 2 weeks till I have the left one done. Can't wait. Look out Bandit. You and I are goin' to be doing a lot of catching up together.  Only downside was.
I look a hell of a lot older in the mirror from what I can remember.    Now Jan has a long list of things that I need to do around the place because I have no excuse about not being able to see it.

Champion result Hammy - glad it worked out for you even if you have a long list of jobs to do.

Hammy, its a case of damned if you do, damned if you dont  
Good to hear your sight is much better, imagine  how many crazy things you're going to see while riding now:shock:

That's really great news Hammy  


( now you will be able to  see what Jan has had to look at for all that time       )

I know how you feel mate. Not from having surgery, just glasses for distance. I got them a few years ago and the first time I wore them on the ride home I was blown away with what I could see. I could see blades of grass, not just a green blur!
Congrats Hammy. Enjoy:D

Awesome news Hammy

Thanks Guys. I'm one of the lucky ones that could be fixed. (and not like the cat ! )

Awesome, it's amazing how much faster you can go when you can see where you are going.

Not to mention who might be lurking up the road.

All the best Hammy.

Good to hear it all went well Hammy.
You'll see us in Cowra then eh!

Sure will.

Good on ya Hammy. A mate of mine had both eyes done 3 yrs ago and said the same thing, best thing he'd ever done, should have done it earlier. Completely painless and only the 2 half days off work for each eye. Amazing what they can do nowadays isn't it. Enjoy your new outlook mate.

Cheers Jimmy.  2 half days off work !  I was on deck the next morning. 

He went for the procedure at 11am one day and back the following day. Hard to believe really.

Yes, I couldn't believe how pain free and easy it was.  The only discomfort was to the hip pocket. $$$  

Glad to hear all's well Hammy. My eye sight hasn't changed in 4 years fortunately.

Had the left eye done on Wednesday. Patch off on Thursday. Hey presto !  I can see !  What a difference. Truly grateful to modern medicine.

Great news mate ..................twice as dangerous now eh !
