My retina's put back in place and is held there with a gas bubble. My eyesight, in my right eye, won't return for 2 to 4 weeks. A patch over the eye keeps it protected. Everything seems out of focus to me, even in the good eye. I was thankful to have Kelsey with me.
I was so worried about "watching" my eye surgery. I had to get reassurance from the nurses, the doctor, and the anesthesiologist that I wouldn't wig out. The nurse walked me through the procedure from start to finish, which put me a little more at ease. She said I would be awake for the procedure but wouldn't care. I was knocked out completely for the doctor to numb my eye and prepare it for surgery. I did wake up afterwards, but not sure when. I heard the conversation around the table.... Walmart stuff, and then the doctor asked me how I was doing. I said "fine". I saw the surgery tube in my eye and some of the procedure. Then I saw the bright short zaps of laser hit my eye to repair the smaller tares. It was so interesting. And, the nurse was right; I didn't care at all!

When will they know if it is healing right? I am glad it went well for you.
I'm glad it went well and that Kelsey was there. I'm sunning in sunny St. George and decided to see if you posted anything after your surgery. I'm glad to know all is well.
