TUESDAY MORNING WAS MY FIRST CATARACT SURGERY IN MANHATTAN. WENT WELL. In the afternoon, I saw another doc the checked my eye. Looked good. I believe I will be in better spirits after the other eye is done as well. I shall see how the right eye heals up.
Hubby had an eye appointment in Topeka where our granddaughter drove him because his eyes would be dilated. I stayed HOME. We talked on the phone and he is to return in 6 weeks. He is having a PVD in his right eye. No tears. He and the GRAND went looking for shoes for her and had lunch together. He'll return soon and we'll go to the Eye Doctor for my appointment.
I'm tired just thinking about it.
I survived surgery number one. Really I didn't know what to expect. I saw lots of lights while the procedure went on. All the eye drops stung. Before and after. All. I didn't know that a white piece of not sure what it was was placed over my face and a hole is opened up for the eye.
The doctor was wonderful and talked all the way through the operation. I was sitting in our car at 9:10 AM ready to go and get something to eat. We went to the park and took a short nap then went and got some tea. In the afternoon, I went to a different office to have eyes looked at. Lunch. Then traveled HOME to rest.
The day was gorgeous and I am wearing a see through patch over my eye with dark sunglasses as well. I'll be wearing these indoors as well. Eye is doing well and I want to keep it that way.
Next surgery is scheduled in two weeks. I think I can do this thing and be alright with it. Thanking God for a successful operation and thanking HIM for good doctors.
