Wow this is a trip I wonder if...zzzzzzzz
All done Chris we're going to wheel you into recovery now!

That was it, off I went to Tim Hortons and rested the the rest of the day. The itching is driving me crazy but I go for my post op apt in about 2 hours so I'll get the low down then. The Doc did tell my wife that all went well and there was no damage so he just vaccumed out and topped me off. Thanks for the support everyone and I'll let you know what I find out later.

I'm jealous-- I was awake for mine.

They covered me completely except for the eye.
Gave me a little something in the IV to relax me and an injection in the eye to deaden it. After that My vision was gone except for the good eye under the sheet.
I listened to my doctor talk to me and sing hymns. I was not to move a muscle during the procedure.

I did not get a patch just gauze and tape.

I took my covering off to early because my eyelashes were moving across the gauze and driving me crazy.

Now after many about 10 years, I see a different shade of blue when looking though the lens of a video camera. WEIRD
