Eyes numbered!

It’s done!

And no, the op itself was not painful. Honest. Your eyes are numbed from various drops they put in beforehand.

But there was the very disconcerting - nay - terrifying sound of a dentist’s drill as my right eye was cleared of debris. What the ??

Yes the operation procedure itself was OK. BUT THE AFTERMATH!!! OMG. That was most unpleasant.

They cheerfully tell you that your eyes might feel a bit ‘gritty. GRITTY! I felt like I’d been in a Sahara sandstorm. I could NOT open my eyes. Also, it happened to be one of our sunniest days. We had to get a taxi home. And I went straight to a darkened room.

This gruesome shot shows the goggles I have to wear. And the lavish strips of very sticky tape holding each one in place. These were just cruelly ripped off before the op, causing a pained gasp from moi!

I have to wear them every night for ages! But they will have minimum tape in future.

But ITS DONE!!
