Bobbielinks, no surgery yet, the eye doc says the cataracts are not ready yet. But I can definitely not see as well as I did even a year ago.
As an update, we had a sump failure in our basement in June 2015, but didn't realize that the plastic tub holding most of my Christmas linens (including 5 of the family cross-stitched stockings) had a crack in the bottom.
We discovered it in Dec '15 and had to throw out all those handmade keepsakes.
I managed to finish one of the damaged ones for my DGS. Here are pics of the original and the replacement.
I did the replacement in needlepoint as I knew I could not see well enough to make the original in ccs on dark aida again.

I did personalize the new one replacing the girl with his dogs and the vintage toys with a Minion and a soccer ball LOL.
