It's routine cataract surgery. I may be out of commission for a day or three.

Good luck!  I've had the surgery for both eyes.  I'd be surprised if you were out of commission for as long as a day.  One thing is that you will probably need reading glasses, and a different strength will work better for computer work vs reading books.  I ended up getting cheap drugstore packs of +2.75 diopter glasses for reading.  I keep a pair in each room in the house that I usually read in.  That's so I don't need to walk around with a pair, which leads to losing them or at least not having one when you need it.  I also keep another pair in the car.  They aren't that expensive, so it's affordable to have all these pairs of drugstore glasses.

I got an optician-grade pair of +2.00 diopters for computer work, and it never leaves the computer desk for any reason.

This assumes that you will get corrected to 20/20 or better, without much astigmatism, as I was.  Also, I'm talking about the glasses you will want after both eyes get done.  I don't remember how I managed when only the first one had been corrected...

Thanks for all the well wishes.

The surgery appears to have gone well. The eye is blurry, but apparently that's normal. I'll see my eye doc later today.
