Second eye all done

In recovery room this morning
Well, it's done. The second eye has been operated on and a new lens inserted to replace the cataract. It's supposedly more "myopic" (with a closer focus) than the other, but I won't know any of that until the patch is removed tomorrow. My blood pressure was higher this morning that I have seen in awhile, but I suspect that's because I was more nervous than the first time, but I don't know why.

I'm not supposed to read or do much today but rest, and that's good. I am posting this just to let you know it all went as expected, and that I'm back at home and resting. I felt much more woozy after the anesthesia this time, and I really needed that wheelchair afterwards. After I got home, I sat down in my easy chair and haven't felt much need to do anything but rest.

Tomorrow I'll get the patch off and start the drops and hope for another quick recovery. Amazing surgery advances these days!

    Thank you for letting us know.
    I suspect you are more woozy this time because of the cummulative effect of two anesthetics so close together.
    Heartfelt hugs.

    Well , you survived and that's good. It's not easy so stress ups the blood pressure.

    Happy all went well! Now just rest and eye drops for a while. I'm very curious how having two different types of lenses is going to work. Exciting! Should be a very merry Christmas!! :)

    So glad it is over and today you get the new super vision when the patch comes off. Then you can really relax. Can't wait to hear.
