Best of luck for today......does the pursed lip breathing help when you get stressed?

Take care

[newlands in reply to knitter]

yes I suppose it does ,it's having too be flat I don't like but last time they were very good with me

[freefaller in reply to newlands]

I am always worried about having to lay flat like that. I do yoga breathing before going down to theatre and that calms me down. My surgeon was so good and did a great quick job - not in the theatre for any longer than 45 mins each time.

Good Luck Dorothy! I had both my eyes done back in 2012 and the difference was amazing. Only 52 at the time and the cataracts grew quickly for me going from just a corner of the right eye at one optician test in December 2011 to almost blind in that eye and the left eye going the same way by June 2012. Now I can see better than ever and don't need to wear glasses except for seeing some of the very small print.
