For two or three years now I dreaded waiting for my cataract operation. I postponed it three times after hearing outlandish stories about what could go wrong.

The process could not be more different. I cannot say more than what a cool team. I salute them all. John Radcliffe you are the best.

I go back soon for my second eye operation and I am looking forward to the nice tea and sandwiches.
