Good morning gang ... thought I would stop in for a very short update. As my daughter Kris reported yesterday, the surgery went well and I slept a lot yesterday afternoon - as much as you can with a plastic shield taped over your eye. The surgeon checked in with me last afternoon and I am to see him at 9:45 this morning. Kris will take me as I couldn't drive if I had to! Then she has to leave and I'm on my own again. As I imagine many of you know - the recovery of the sight in the operated on eye is not an immediate thing; which I assumed would happen when the dialation went out. I can see nothing yet out of my left eye except an oily, smokey haze. I have no pain in the eye, just a residual and constant headache. I have 3 eye drops that I have to use 4 times a day and two are dandies which are still excrutiating! I will know more after my appointment this morning but from what the surgeon said yesterday, the vision should return slowly, taking from a day to a couple of weeks, depending on the amount of swelling caused by the surgery. He is planning on operating on my right eye in a week or so, but definitely not until I can see out of my left eye!! So, I'll only be checking my e-mail hit and miss for a few days until I can see better. Hopefully by Monday I'll "see" a good improvement or I will go mad not being able to be on the computer as much as I normally am. But, I will obey the doc! Thanks for all your precious emails and cards and for being patient with me - I'm not answering many right now as you can expect.
