All done

All done!! My plan was to get up at 6, be at the bus stop at 6:30, get on the bus when it got there at 6:33 and trot up the 2.5 blocks to the Surgery Center.

I had two alarms set which was fortunate since one of them slept in. I got dressed and fed Betty and got to the bus stop about 20 after. The 6:33 bus pulled up seconds after I got there. The rest went as planned.

By 8:45 I was drinking coffee and by 8:50 we were in the car on the way to McDonald's!

This stunning patch stays on til tomorrow morning when I go back to the doctor. Ann has a meeting at 9 so she's going to drop me off on the way (different office than today so bus not as good an option). I can easily walk home since it's downhill.

My eye feels a little like I stayed up all night studying - kind of grainy. But it does not hurt at all. Last time I did not remember any of the surgery. Today I was more awake and could hear everything and see shadows where they were working. It was really fascinating.

I got nothing planned for today. I might take a nap. I might watch TV and knit. No telling. Right now I'm going to make myself another cup of coffee. I'm still catching up.

A few years back I had Lasic surgery on one eye. You are totally awake for that, but drugged into happy land. When we left I was given the standard post operative talk and kit with medication, eye oover and bandages. It went well until the second night when I decided to go out. I had a wee too much fun and when I got home had one hell of a time putting the eye cover and bandages on for bed. When I awake the next day and looked in the mirror, I looked like a mummy with bandages all over my head.

I love the visual!! After tomorrow I have to wear the patch to bed every night for a week. Last time I had a bitch of a time getting the thing to stay in place. I had a mummy wrap almost every night... and I was sober!
