Gosh, it must be like a new lease on life for you - so glad the first op went so well and now fingers crossed the second one goes just as well and it's all plain sailing from there.

So pleased it has made such an improvement. Maybe with the money you save on glasses, you could get a cleaner.

Was it a shock to realise you're not married to George Clooney either?

Lissie, I can't tell you how happy I am that your eye op has worked out.

I had all sorts done to try to save mine, but nothing worked, that was a long time ago though.

I hope that the next op on your old 'good' eye will change your life.

I might even make the STD's more difficult, just for you. ;) :P

I'm soooo pleased it went so well for you lissie and well done for overcoming your nerves xxx

Sadly I'm more of a wimp and was so nervous when I went for my pre op appointment I was referred back to the main hospital as I'll need some kind of sedation. It means a much longer wait, but tbh with everything going on with Mr.J right now perhaps that's not a bad thing.

Honestly Jen it is much easier than you think.
I was nervous too and my BP was sky high.
It was so quick i could`nt believe it-got there for 12.30 and nurse
talked me through what was going to happen then put drops in my eye to
dilate the pupil then local anaesthetic drops then iodine drops
which did`nt sting so she said the anaesthetic must have worked.
The surgeon came to the waiting room at 1pm and introduced himself
and said i could change my mind if i wanted to.
He called me in and the only thing i found awkward was lying still
on my back for 15 mins.
I did`nt feel any pain only a bit of pressure.
I went to see the nurse after who told what to do and what not to do
and told me i could go home :o :o
I was home by 2pm and i could watch tv or read but my eyesight was
blurred.
By next morning i could`nt believe how clear everything looked and i
drove my car the next day.
I am having the other one done in 6 weeks or so and i am not worried
about that now.
Hope this helps Jen :D

lissie :D
