1. Thanks for the update!

I get my first one in three weeks. Medical shit terrifies me so I'm happy happy happy for your report.

[LuckyCharms]

4. You'll do great!

This second one seemed to go even smoother than the first one, and I was "more awake" for this one. I was chatting with the doc while he was doing the surgery, but I couldn't see him, I could only hear him.

You'll actually enjoy the experience!

[Ocelot II]

6. I expect to be disappointed, because I've already told the doctor

that I wanted him to give me elliptical pupils and he said he couldn't do it.

[MiHale]

19. Some people experience the same...

I did, doctor said that he likes to put people under more for the first one because of the fear people have about eyes getting poked…nerves are down on second so not so much sleepy time. I asked, he answered…gotta think it’s true.

27. Just got the second eye done. Had some discomfort with it.

I told the doc I didn’t remember any of the first one. He said I slept thru it.
Alls good now, just have to put a bunch of drops in now three times a day.

2. Very very cute. nt

[Walleye]

3. Excellent. Sounds gooood

[True Dough]

5. Don't worry, Lucky

Everything will look normal before long.

[LuckyCharms]

7. Before he started, he said "Do you have any questions before I begin"?

So I asked: What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

[True Dough]

8. I hope you reminded him

that you weren't there for a vasectomy!

[Midnight Writer]

9. European or African?

[mamajudi]

20. Do you have any questions?

😂OMG, I have to laugh because my husband does the same thing. While I was having a c-section (awake) he, standing near me and the anesthesiologist asked my doc to name the Seven Dwarfs!! Just what I needed. Someone holding a scalpel and cracking up. That was just one incident!

[surfered]

10. Good luck. I'll have to have that done someday soon

[House of Roberts]

11. Seeing blurry or hearing echoes of everything?

I was hearing echoes when I read the above.

[eppur_se_muova]

12. Try telling the doc you'd like to have your third eye done next. nt

[cyclonefence]

13. I'm sure you're going to do great

I had my annual checkup with my ophthalmologist yesterday and reminded him that I had asked that we do my cataract surgeries earlier than I really needed them done because of my tremors, which were not going to get better ( you have to hold your head perfectly still during the operation), and he agreed it was a good idea.

In fact, he said, people in general ought to get the surgery done as soon as they have any symptoms at all (like trouble driving with oncoming headlights), or as soon as their doctor tells them they have cataracts.

23. And yet, a friend with cataracts has been told by her doc that her eyes

are not yet bad enough to require ssurgery, even though she hs to compensate for her vision difficulties.

[cyclonefence]

28. I guess there's no concensus

but I was glad to get mine done early. I knew I'd have to have the surgery eventually, and I wanted to get it over with before my various health conditions--like tremors--got worse.

[Harker]

14. I hear Foreigner in my head.

[Niagara]

26. Me too, Harker

[skylucy]

15. LOL!

[FoggyLake]

16. I had cataract surgery a year ago.

Best thing I ever did. Without it for sure I would be totally blind. And MEDI-CAL paid for it. Thank you, California.

[homegirl]

17. Cataracgt surgeery is one

of the medical miracles of our times. Just follow instructions re: drops perfectly and enjoy your new eyes to the World!

[MiHale]

18. Sense of humor is still great!

Be seeing ya…had mine done couple years ago. Can see better at night now.

[GiqueCee]

21. I'm glad it went well...

... I'm having the same procedure at the end of May. Second eye in June. WHEE! They used to hang people for having this much fun.

[dflprincess]

22. Glad it's gone so well!

And what a relief to have it over with!

[niyad]

24. I am so glad that things went well.

[Niagara]

25. O.O eye see what you did there

Sending good and healing vibes your way, Lucky!
