Memo to self don't ask this lot for good thoughts if I ever need an op!! :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D

I feel the same.

Sharron, been there done that.

Walking up the Hospital steps felt like walking up for an appointment with the guillotine.

I survived and can now enjoy driving without the need for glasses, but I do need them for reading :-D :-D

I went for the first appointment last week and the consultant gave the impression that he was going to mow my lawn rather than poke about in my eye.

It was the anaesthetist who gave me all the gory details when I went to see him a week or so prior to the operation.( I now know why such things are called operations with all the prior planning :-0)

As far as my own 'eye' doctor was concerned it was only a ten minute procedure.

What the b%%%%%d didn't tell me was that the actual preparation took over two hours, including an injection of anaesthetic into the base of the eye to prevent it moving.

Oooh! I bet the non-moving eye was fun (not)!! :-S

The weird thing is, Maggie, is that your other eye is still fully functioning so that when you are instructed to 'follow' his finger you do. It's only when he sad to me that the problem eye was now fully prepared as it hadn't moved at all that I knew .

Between still being able to see out of my problem eye, my good eye and my brain (what there is of it) I had the impression that both eyes were still fully functional :-S

Gosh! Brains are wonderful things - much underrated ;-)

:-D :-D :-D

Well, if I ever need cataract surgery, remind me to find out which hospital Sharron's booked into, so I know which one to avoid-like the plague!!
Really don't like all the talk of circular saws and orifices involved wherever she's going.

You can't go to that hospital anyway, Kay. It's in my head and you really would no want to get in there, you wouldn't!

The circular saw might not be there anyway.Not if they are doing namelessone's foot anyway.

I had the operation just pre Covid. What I found odd was that they operate on your eye but you can't see what they do. And of course all the operating theatre routines that you don't hear when you have a general.

I found the worst part was the seemingly endless eye drops over the next several weeks. End result well worth it.

Please use the circular saw first in the hope it gets damaged. Then my lot will have to come up with another (better) idea to solve my problem. :-D

Names



Edit: I meant damaged whilst they were cleaning the gore off it and putting it away, not damaged on your head. ;-)

I think they are more likely to use he big drill on me but they will still have the jack hammer and branding irons.

Don't worry about the tools which they will use as the doctors are coming to Leeds for the medical museum to take the tools back to the hospital.
:-D

Maybe they will bring me up here and do it in the museum. Then send me home on the bus.

Names will need a wheelbarrow or something to get back home if she has to coe up there as well.

:-D

Names, no good complaining if your operation goes wrong, you may not have a leg to stand on.

Don't you worry, names.

I'll look into it for you!

:-D :-D
