Cadillac Surgery

I have a Cataract in my left eye. Today was finally the day to get it corrected. I showed up at the Spokane Eye Clinic at noon today and I was home by 2:30.

I can't believe how blurry my vision still is.

I will be able to remove the bandage at 5:30, which is coming up.

It really is quite an operation they have going at Spokane Eye Clinic. The nurse that was prepping me said they do about 70 surgeries a day.

I was still a little loopy from the sedative they gave me when we got home. I took a nice two hour nap. I'm refreshed and ready to get this bandage off.

Okay the bandages are off and my vision is no longer cloudy. I am having double vision but they said that was normal. The vision in my left eye is at a 30 degree tilt from my right eye. It's very disorienting.

I have an appointment to see the Doctor tomorrow at 11:00. Hopefully, the different views will come together by then.

7:52PM: My vision is returning to normal. My eye is a little sore and itchy. It's hard to resist scratching but I can work through it. There is still a little halo around lights and the TV, but it's coming back.

Right now, the worst part is the eye drops. I have to take them every two hours until I go to bed. They really sting.

I guess that is a small price to pay for getting my vision restored.
