Almost a year after having cataract surgery I noticed that my vision was not the same and I was seeing worse than before surgery. It turns out that have to have a laser procedure done due to the secondary cataract, which is common. I had my right eye done in the last week. It made a difference! I am seeing better and now I keep my fingers crossed that it my vision doesn't worsen. I finally asked how much of my vision field I had left in each eye. I have 5% left in each eye, which is close to looking through a straw. It was a shock and put things into perspective.
After many years of dealing with lower back pain and losing my strength in my left leg, surgery was finally needed. I had discectomy of L4 and L5 in February. The pain has always interfered with my daily life, but it got worse again. I was stuck in bed and I was not able to get around. My left leg was weak and numb. I had to take the semester off from school. I might have to have my spine fused down the road since I have a fracture on a vertebrae.
