I got to go see Mamaw's second cataract surgery yesterday. I went the day she had the other one done but had to leave after an hour or so of waiting and went back to work. Me, Mama, and Linda got to sit through the whole thing this time even though it didn't last very long it was pretty amazing. I really don't know how to describe it but you lay there awake while a doctor pokes something in your eyeball and cuts out an old lens, sucks it out, and puts in a new one. It was truly amazing and ranks up there with things I've seen like a baby being born, not quite but pretty close!
