Here is a list of the movies watched by the man and his mother in the days after her successful cataract surgery:
•Vertigo
•Pet Sematary
•The Princess Bride
•Tootsie
•Jaws
•Mrs. Doubtfire
•Muriel’s Wedding
•Chinatown
•Terms of Endearment
•The Big Sick (at a theater)
What connects all of these seemingly disparate flicks, he wonders? Aside from the fact that Tootsie and Mrs. Doubtfire are essentially the same movie, the thread connecting all of them is that for the first time in ages his mother viewed them in all their radiant detail and ridiculous, vivid color and light. For the first time in years, she could see what she’d been missing.
And it was good.

That’s so wonderful! Glad surgery went well.
Thanks, Carrie. Now we’ll just have to redo her other eye, which didn’t go so well. Crossed fingers!
Super. Welcome back physically and digitally.
It’s good to be home. Though it’s 106 here today. 😲
And the wildfires in BC are mucking up our views driving east. Careless Canadians.
Cavalier Canucks! 🔥
Glad it worked.
Precious moments those. So glad your Mom fared well. Let’s keep fingers crossed for fully functional eyesight after the next round.
Thanks, Ilona. It was just so great to see her doing so well, and only one day after the op. Lookin’ good!
So glad your mammy fared well. It’s full to be home base.
