Cataract 2 - Seeing double

I slept well last night and this morning had a shower and washed my hair before removing the eye patch.  I'd expected my eye to be quite sticky, but it wasn't and I cleaned it as instructed and applied both types of drops.  

I looked around and everything looks very bright and sparkling, with my new lens giving a greater degree of clarity than the other eye which I know also has the beginnings of a cataract developing.  

Things do look a little weird though and it took me a while to realise that my new eye is seeing slightly double.  I know that this can happen until the brain learns to interpret the information it's getting from the new lens, but it is a bit odd.

Sometime late morning my elderly neighbour popped round to see if I was ok and she came in for a chat.  Then she realised she'd left her front door open, and as she's not very steady on her feet I said I'd go and shut it for her.  Oh my goodness, walking round - and it's not far - wasn't very pleasant and made me feel quite sick and dizzy...  It's obvious that I'm not yet ready to walk round to the doctor's surgery to deliver my discharge letter!
