For my grandfather 40 years ago it was months if not a year of dramas for each eye. But his mind remained perfect for his age (over 80). I admire woman who undergo sometimes major surgery and even peridurals without complaints and with a smile to have children. The time before the intervention is awfull, when you wake up you will feel better. A famous and sucessfull French painter after his eyes operation jumped to his feet and and changed the colors of all his paintings he saw. He was horrified, because he had discoverd they where too pink. Chin up, I wish you the best.
