Tomorrow at 11 A.M. I am having cataract surgery. I’m not nervous about it but it is a rather new experience for me. I’ve had very little personal medical experience--a couple of colonoscopies, surgery for Dupuytren's Contracture (hand), and giving birth to my two children. Very lucky, very grateful.
Thankfully, leading up to tomorrow, I’ve felt surrounded by silence, solitude, and simplicity, which I sum up in one word: calm. A series of eye drops, delivering brownies to a friend, a good book, and asking friends for prayers--that’s been it today.
