@prodigyplace: Bruce, they are relatively small inconveniences, compared to others: I have buried my best friend, another close friend, and a favourite, beloved aunt, all since November 15th of last year. I’m glad to be HoH, dim of vision, in chronic pain from back injuries, but still on this side of the sod, with my small but deeply caring family to bless my life.
But you’re correct - the cataracts are a frustration, and mine are inoperable, given existing technology. Bummer, sorta …
