I have been neglecting this space! I attempted to write a "1 year" post, that being 1 year after M's surgery date, but it was hard to write. I've had a partially completed post waiting to be written, and just felt I couldn't write another post if I didn't write that year post. So for whatever reason, it's hard to write, it's hard to sum up a year of appointments, feelings, and events. So I give up! And I'll just move on!
M's congenital cataract surgery was November 23, 2012 and I think I may remember that date for the rest of my life.
I find it kind of sad to look back at how much we struggled just after surgery, how when we first were able to get a contact in and patch her, she was essentially blind and couldn't be put down or left alone.
I look back a year ago, and we have learned so much, dealt with so much, and persevered so much. There have been ups and downs in the process following her surgery, but considering everything, she has been remarkably good with her patching.
M has been seeing her optometrist and surgeon every 5-6 weeks, and her next appointment is this Friday.
