Living free from Glasses

I am several days after the surgery. My vision has gotten better and better, although it's still not quite all there. There's a slight haze around when there are bright lights. I drove at night for the first time this morning going to work and it appeared to me like there was a thin fog. There wasn't of course, it's my vision.

I hope this gets better, but even if it doesn't I'm better off than with glasses.

I had the first unsettling feeling about my identity. I have always been the nerdy girl with the glasses. It made me look smart, so I thought, and I had to prove how smart I am, so I thought. Now I don't have those props. I feel weird. I don't know who I am as an adult without glasses.

It's going to be a challenge.
