"it's better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick"?

That was sort of my local hospital outpatient eye surgery experience on Friday...three small ports were poked into my eye with a large needle for surgical access to the inside of my eye. They removed the vitreous, corrected the retina problem, and replaced the volume with a liquid made for that purpose and a silicone oil bubble that will help press my retina back in place. They used a general anesthetic, so I (gratefully!)don't remember a thing. My eye is totally red, swollen and sore, but I have a bit of vision back today. I've been told it will be a couple of months before my vision will be normal again in that eye. I'm feeling pretty good, and under strict doctor's orders to be a couch potato...I'm not even allowed to bend over. I can feel the stitches, but they will get better and dissolve on their own. So far so good, and I know the eye and surrounding area is healing because it's starting to itch. I'm really glad it's over!

I hope you're feeling better soon Sue. At least you can play guitar with you're eyes closed

Hope you're feeling better soon. And the eye gets better soon. Prayers and vibes just said and sent.

So glad it's over! Hope you're feeling better!
