I was told today that I have cataracts in both eyes and that both need operating on (I had wondered why my eyesight had deteriorated!) I'm 50, so wasn't expecting this. I am currently just legal for driving. I know that this is a relatively straightforward matter, capable of being fixed by surgery which is relatively uncomplicated (although the surgery is generally carried out under a local anaesthetic and that is way beyond my comfort zone). But AIBU in wanting a little sympathy? DH response was "oh, I wonder if that's what I have?" and DD said "isn't that what dogs get?" Am I being all me, me, me? I know other people have more serious problems.
