Well, folks, my cataract surgery last Monday went great! I don't even have any swelling or a little blood-shot to show you! Other than being a little off-balance, I even felt like I could see well enough to drive home, but I didn't, my sister drove, don't worry! The eye doctor has a cute little shtick where he gives patients a brightly colored African violet when they leave because now the patient can see and enjoy the colors and varied textures of the plant.
The first time I took a pink one, intending to share it for a Pink Saturday, but I forgot. This time my mom made sure I got a blue one. I LOVE it even more than the pink one, which is still looking beautiful, by the way. My goal is to keep them both alive for at least a year.

Just an FYI: I have all anklets in my etsy shop at 10% off and free shipping. Last chance to get these fun summer accessories!

Your mom is wonderfully supportive. I love African violets, but the best news is that your surgery went so well. God is good! Thanks for sharing. Happy Blue Monday.
ReplyDeleteHello Elizabeth, how pretty! Happy Blue Monday! I love violets but I have a hard time trying to grow them in this house. My first house had the right sun for them. How sweet of your mother and I'm so glad that your surgery went so well!

I am so glad your surgery went well! African Violets remind me of my godmother. She grew them so well, but alas, I don't have luck with them. Your photo is a sweet memory for me this morning.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday!
Glad things went well with your eye surgery!
ReplyDeleteThe Violets are beautiful!!!
Your violets are beautiful.. I'm glad your surgery went well. Mr. P had it done in February and is getting along famously..hugs ~lynne~
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it went well, girl, and what a cool thing for the doctor to do! So kindhearted!!!!! I've heard African violets are hard to take care of. Are they?
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
How unique, for the Dr to give a plant. I like it. It got you talking about him, didn't it? Guess that could be one reason or he might just really be a nice guy.
ReplyDeleteEither way...it is a very pretty plant. My Grandmother has the magic touch with plants and used to grow lovely African Violets.

Pretty violet! They need an awful large amount of daylight to keep blooming. My mom kept hers in an east window, and they bloomed nearly non-stop!
