Remove cataract Perfect vision in right eye Cannot drive at night
In the category of not so fun fact: a person is not supposed to drive at night after cataract surgery. A fact I mentioned not being informed about until I met the surgeon for my surgery. When he finally uttered the restriction and I replied, Well since I don’t drive during the day; it’s probably best I don’t drive at night. But yes this little “fun” fact should be mentioned at the beginning before one even gets to their meet the surgeon appointment. My surgeon mentioned it as an aside because most of his patients are quite a bit older than me and have already stopped driving at night as cataracts impedes night vision long before it affects how you see during the day. Of course my problem ties into another fun fact – people with cerebral palsy age faster than normal. And as today is the last day of cerebral palsy awareness month that’s a good fact to share for the #NaPoWriMo early prompt.
Today, we’d like to challenge you to write a poem that plays with the idea of a “fun fact.” Your fact could actually be fun – or the whole point could be that it’s not fun. Maybe you have a favorite wacky fact already, but if not, Mental Floss’s “Amazing Fact Generator” is here to help!
