Why didn't someone tell me how terribly good looking all my readers are? Oh, guess you got my clue that I had my surgery and all went well? I am proud to say that I am "seeing" all of you for the first time....and very clearly.
This whole experience was incredible and one that I would recommend to all who are suffering from cataracts. Have no fear....good eyesight is near!! You remember Ms.Chicken? Ms.Wont-go-to-the doctor? Well here I am telling you that this whole thing was a piece of cake ( with the icing too- sugar-free, of course).
I had to be at the surgery center by 6:30 in the morning for an hour and a half preperation and a three minute operation. The nurses were fantastic . They talked sweet nothings in my ear to calm me while they did what they are trained to do. Get this, they actually hooked me up to a blood pressure machine and there was no comment so my doctor does have that under control after all.
I admit, I held my breath!! They inserted an IV, taped my eye open and wheeled me in. The surgeon came in and I anticipated the pain.....ok, discomfort....ok, pressure...ok something but I was happily disappointed. Before I knew it I was being wheeled out of the room with a total new lens in my eye. Modern science at its best!! I left the surgery center after a total of three hours, sent home with drops and a patch for evening wear. That's it folks!!! Within a few hours I could already see things I haven't seen in months and as each day has passed, my eyes have improved tremendously. Shame on me for being such a chicken and shame on me for waiting so long.
