Another Waiting Room

As some of you may know, cataract surgery a couple of months ago on both eyes. One works fine, the other needed a bit of "tweaking" (the doctor's word, not mine), which I had done on Tuesday of this week. As it turns out, it really was a kind of tweak. He did it in his office, as opposed to an operating room where the first surgery was done), and it took about 5 or 10 minutes. Since I had an astigmatism in that eye, he needed to make a couple of cuts in my cornea to make it round again. I know, it sounds awful, but really, it was a piece of cake. I can see better out of that eye now, it feels a bit scratchy (not itchy, but more like there's a bit of something in it), and I have had no pain in it at all.
As some of you also may know, I pass the time in waiting rooms by sketching the other folks who are also waiting for something or someone. While I didn't do any sketching Tuesday (I got taken right in), I had to go back yesterday for my "post-op" check. I did have a bit of waiting to do for that appointment, so I did a bit of sketching. These aren't the best sketches I've done in similar circumstances (the light was dim and the room was crowded, so I had people right next to me, causing me to assume a rather awkward position to keep my drawing rather hidden). But in the interest of Truth in Posting, here they are. Oh, and by the way, I'm in the process of figuring out exactly how I want to construct Mobile 2, so I'll post a picture of that when I have something to show you!
Unfortunately, as you can see, the paper in this book is quite thin, and you can see shadows of what's behind each drawing. Also, my favorite Micron pen was nowhere to be found, so these were done with ballpoint pen .... not my fave!
