eye surgery - getting personal

I have been pretty silent here for a while, partly because I've been busy doing other things and partly because I've had to think for a while about what to write.

After a few years of long, hard pondering, I opted to have corrective surgery to straighten out my crooked eyes. This happened Monday. I'm recovering probably rather faster than they predicted, but I'm also probably pushing myself a little hard.

I am not sure I can describe what it's like to wake up and to see things differently. To both look different and to see differently. I guess I probably won't really know until I'm a bit more recovered. The ultimate goal was to be able to do more art with less pain, so as the months unfold I guess I will be finding out if that was the result. Until then I just have to work on getting used to this!
