A pretty traumatic day I'm afraid ... the anaesthetist had to apologise PROFUSELY for chopping into my eye with pointed scissors instead of slightly blunted ones (not available until next month it seems) and causing tremendous pain that shot me off the trolley ... and this was before I had even entered the theatre. Next time (if there is a next time!!!) I will CERTAINLY plump for a general anaesthetic instead of a local. It seems I have extra long corneas that required injections into the eye rather than under the eye and this caused the problems for the anaesthetist ... and me. The operation proved uncomfortable but not too traumatic ... the whole thing took about fifty minutes. I had to endure secreted gunge that stuck my eyelids together all night and pain in the 'anaesthetic' area this morning but I can now see 'reasonably' well, still with glasses of course, and I suppose things won't be ideal until I can endure having the second eye done?
I can see this screen quite well but amazingly I can see totally different colours with each eye (upon shutting one or the other), so I am still uncertain about the correct colours of many of my images ... this may, of course, stabilise itself over the hours and days to come?
Not a pleasant experience and while it is absolutely nothing compared to all the magnificent operations that are undertaken every day it may still deter me from dashing back for another. LOL.
Thanks for all your kind comments.
