The cataract surgeries (this is her second) make her vision clearer but does nothing to slow her real problem which is the RP. There is no cure for that, and it has recently begun to progress again. Still, if she can see more clearly for whatever time she had left before her field of vision closes, we'll feel it's been worthwhile.
Thanks for the prayers and good thoughts. We go back tomorrow for the post op checkup. By then we'll know if the procedure has helped.

saying my prayers for a great post op follow up.
