Had a text from Marvin's earlier. Apparently his injured eye became infected and developed high pressure (glaucoma) and became blind in that eye. The vet had to remove the eyeball, and, despite wanting
desperately to go outside, she's keeping him indoors until the
'antibis' have worked their magic and he's infection free. Poor
Marvin - I reckon he's putting up a bit of a fight to get better.
Ah'ernoon from a blustery, dry, mild and partially sunny day here in South Yorkshire. Temperature out there is 11.5C,but feeling more like
10C with the, up to 21 mph gusts from the NNE. Barometric pressure is
steady at 1031.2 mB with the RH showing as 59%.
Forecast is for it to remain partially sunny until sunset and then
stay overcast for the rest of the evening and overnight. Temperature
has already peaked and is now gradually falling to an overnight
temperature low of 5C but more like 4C.
Hope you have all enjoyed your day and are keeping yourselves safe
and sound.
As yesterday Mollie woke around 07:00 and after a cuddle went out
for 10 minutes before eating her breakfast, around 08:00. Another 10
minutes ambling up the jungle before coming indoor for a sleep on her
bed.

Oh dear, poor Marvin indeed, very bad news and hope he's feeling
better very soon.
I also have an appointment with an eye clinic in Nottingham on Monday,
for tests prior to cataract removal surgery.

Been there, done that 10 years ago. By a coincidence I had my annual
eye test on Tuesday. It appears that when they tried to match my new
lenses in my eye following the cataract ops both my eyes were still very marginally myopic. On this latest test the opthamologist told me that
my eyes were longer myopic but just about spot on. So I don't need any
new specs, just reading glasses for very close work. Imagine I had had
to wear corrective glasses since the age of 9 until the cataract ops in
the autumn of 2015. That's 66 years wearing strong myopic spectacles.

That's good, just hope that I'll be reporting something similar
shortly, and then again when my other eye has been operated on in
about a year from now.

My Mum found herself in a similar condition of not needing spectacles
except for reading after her cataract ops. She found the unexpected
problem was the breeze in her eyes outdoors felt unfamiliar and uncomfortable. A second problem was finding that when she wanted her
reading glasses they were often in a different room from where she was
trying to read something.
Her solution was to get bifocal glasses, with plain glass for
distances and the reading prescription when she looked downwards. It
worked perfectly for the rest of her life.
As for Marvin losing an eye, it shouldn't make much difference once he
is infection free. A friend of mine adopted a one-eyed rescue cat. It seemed to make no difference to the cat, which behaved like any
other cat with both eyes.

Hm!! They did both mine within a month of the autumn of 2015.
