I hate getting behind in my daily blog because then I can't catch up because I can't remember what I did on the days that I missed.
So today was the day that they did the cataract surgery on my right eye. I have had lasik surgery in the past on both eyes so I didn't think that there would be too much difference. I was right and wrong at the same time.
The facility was the same and the pre op stuff was very much the same but the surgery was a little different. I didn't have to try to keep my eye focused on a light in the center of my range of vision which was good and worried me a little. And I gave the anesthesiologist a heads up that sometimes I need a little more of what every he gives prior to surgery to keep me at the level they want me to be. I am not totally asleep but just very relaxes. For my lasik surgery when they did the first eye I was very talkative and remember the doctor telling me that for the second eye he would see to it that I was given a little more of the relaxation drug. I don't think the anesthesiologist believed me because he gave me my first dose of the drug about 10-20 minutes before the scheduled time and sure enough it wore off quickly. So for the surgery he doubled it and I think he even gave me a little more right before the doctor started. So I will have to remember this when the left eye is done. It is some nice drugs. They put a direct line into my arm and put the drug through that. I went in at 9:15 and I was on my way home by 11:30. My husband and I stopped and brought some lunch home but I honestly don't remember eating it. I know I was hungry though. I spent much of the day asleep on the couch. When It was time to actually go to bed I was afraid I was going to not be able to sleep, but I did. So basically my day was shot. But that is over now.
