One down. . . . .
and one to go.
Eye, that is.
I had the cataract surgery on my right eye this morning. The operation was amazingly no big deal–I DID have a few uncomfy moments when the nurse stuck this hypo into my eyeball. But heck, I’m macho. . . .
Seriously, I mostly didn’t even know what was going on even though I was wide awake. I kinda knew when they removed the lens (they liquify somehow it and suck it out through a needle), because I could sense more light coming in. And I sorta saw a few sparklies and little flashes when they installed the lens implant. All in all, much less hassle than getting your teeth cleaned.
Right now, I have no idea how well the opeartion went–my eye is still taped shut, which is a tad worrisome–I had expected it to open up by now. Just checked–the numbing has not gone away completely yet.
Since the hotel comp center is open 24/7, I may update later if the eye opens.
