Magic Momma (or the Bionic Woman)

I am continually amazed at the "magic" of modern medicine! On my last visit to the eye doctor, I mentioned that the vision in my right eye had become fuzzy. He checked and declared that a film had grown on the lens behind the lens that the cataract surgery replaced (there is a techincal name for this, which I have forgotten). This had happened with my left eye also ( it occurs in about 45% of people after cataract surgery). At a subsequent appointment he pointed a laser into my eye, zapped a few times, and Voila! Magic! 20/20 vision (with glasses) at my follow up on Friday.
That's just the most recent amazing thing. The cataract surgery was special too, in that I am way, way less nearsighted -- I can see the clock from the bed without glasses! Without all this and the meds that keep my glaucoma under control, I would probably be blind by now. Scary to think that there are many people in the world who don't have access to this kind of care.
Then of course there's the metal in my shoulder and my ankles that allows me to use my joints normally and the surgery on my finger that lets me use my hand normally. I truly feel like a Bionic Woman!
