Unlike in my many previous in-hospital and out-patient procedures, this time around thanks to the excellent accessibility features of iOS, iPad OS, etc., along with some very nice third-party applications such as MyChart, I was able to manage the entire preOP paperwork and scheduling, hospital admitting process, and postOP procedures, independently. If you’ve ever had a surgical procedure done, then you well know the hassle of completing and signing what feels like endless forms. It was great to be able to perform such tasks using Apple’s VoiceOver screen reader. Don’t get me wrong, in no way am I saying that one should elect to perform all of the necessary chores, independently; what I am saying is that it feels good to know that one can, should one choose to do so. I’ve been using iOS, etc., for so long, that I sometimes take the accessibility that it offers, for granted. I would say that the stress level I usually experience when dealing with all of the steps necessary when undergoing surgery, was reduced by 80% because I could read all of the documentation, communicate with the medical staff, answer all of the endless questions and sign all of the never-ending forms, at my proverbial leasure. By the way, the procedure appears to have been successful. As you may know, unlike in the movies, it can sometimes take a wee bit while for vision to reach its best acuity. I can, however, tell you that my vision is better than it was before the procedure. I hope you are all doing well.
