Glasses On the Shelf

There was a man from Thomaston Of real good vision he had none Glasses weren't any help They sat upon the shelf From his surgery he's left stunned
My husband has had cataract surgery this week.. He says that he can't see any better out of the eye upon which he had surgery.

Dear Sara, I thought this was about your husband when I read the first couple lines. I guess he's stunned by what he CAN see now. A witty write, my friend! Hope your husband's surgery went well. Love, Carolyn

Great limerick. I thought that the stun was due to his new acute vision, what a shame I was wrong. Hopefully time is improving his vision.

I recently read an article that says there is a delay in regaining sight until the brain can reinterpret or relearn what the eyes are seeing -- I hope it applies here. Prayers.
