Well, I'm saving my pennies. Minus 3.5 in my shooting eye, and
astigmatism, and it's unbalanced with my other eye, which is only
about minus 2.5.
Don't know if I could handle the experience of the surgery, though,
awake at least, soft toy or not! Maybe with a couple of dolls holding
my hands ... But I was once a medical photographer, and that put me
off ever having anyone come within cooee of me with anything sharp.
Thanks for the courage-builder. Now who can tell me where to get
enough dosh to afford the damn procedure?
Cheers from the Antipodes,
