I haven’t been writing here for a while, my eyes have been giving me some trouble for a while – since the start of July, as highlighted in previous posts.
Anyway my last complaint on this matter was I was having to wait six months to see a consultant – so I decided going private was the way to do it. between that decision and seeing the consultant I had more problems that had me at the accident and emergency again.
So the up-shot of all this was an minor operation on both eyes last Wednesday. My biggest regret about the operation was forgetting or not even thinking of taking a camera. I so wish i had got a photo of them operating on my eyes. I know what it felt like from the inside and would loved to have seen it from the out side.
My eyes were pinned back by some sort of springs and then alcohol was used to loosen part of the skin covering the cornea, then that film was scraped away with what looked like a scalpel from the inside. And that was one of the most bizarre parts of the whole thing, I had local anaesthetic and therefore I had no choice but to watch everything that was going on – so weird.
They warned me that it was going to be very painful for a couple of days afterwards. they were not kidding – and I think that a post on pain should be done soon. But it passes – eventually. It was sore.
And now, and for a few days, I am getting board. I want to be back on my computer, however the eye sight is not quite back to normal – but hey it is getting there fast. Really it is quite amazing how quickly the body heals itself.
