July and 2nd Cataract Surgery

 This month I will have my other cataract surgery if all goes as planned.
The imbalance in my eyes has been weird. I had popped out the left lens from my old glasses. The right eye has great near vision without glasses and great distance with glasses. The left eye with the multi-focal iol has some near and far vision but not nearly as much as the right eye.  Unconsciously, I have been closing one eye or the other.  Hopefully, I will keep both eyes opened after the second multi-focal iol is placed and the combined effect will be satisfactory for most tasks.  Having been through the whole process already, I am way less anxious this time.  Multi-focal was my choice since most of my vision focus is intermediate distances.  I do go without glasses for most of the day except when watching tv and want more detail. It is much easier for me to focus than before the surgery and usually wearing glasses then removing them to read.  Also much prefer no glasses when wearing a mask.

Workout-wise, I am continuing ZDancerLiz zoom recordings in July and trying to visit other neglected video files.  I am enjoying workouts edited with my favorite music much more than any of the subs so may be ending them all because I have hundreds of files to visit.

Sadly, between vacations and tech problems,  there will be less zoom videos from ZDancerLiz this month than expected, including only 2 Dance Toning instead of 4.
Trying ZDancerLiz on youtube without ads has been a bit of a game changer because youtube bookmarks where I left off, making it easy to jump on for just a quickie so I decided to try another month.  The youtube links are emailed at the end of the month and the Google Drive vids are available soon after the live zoom class in a monthly folder.

Most of the rest of the day, I am watching some movies but mostly binging shows on various streaming platforms.  The days are flying by and I am looking forward to upgrading on Peacock to see the new Downton Abbey movie as soon as my free trial for Paramount Plus ends.  Meanwhile, I am enjoying catching up on the rest of The Good Fight.  I like *For All Mankind* on AppleTV+ and will watch the third season after its weekly releases are completed.

In the middle of watching the Downton Abbey movie, our son discovered our water heater was leaking so most of the night was spent finding someone to replace it.  Between property taxes, cataract surgery, and water heater replacement, we are going through money like crazy.
My workout will be drying out the basement for a few days.

One week after the water heater mess, I had my second cataract surgery.
Game Changer!
In spite of monstrous floaters, I am seeing better than I ever had since second grade without glasses or contact lens.
Why oh why did I not get Lasik surgery decades ago???

On the second post-op day, I am thrilled I will not need glasses again.
