I got out of Presbyterian Hospital on Thursday afternoon. Since I had to go see the doctor on Friday morning I spent the night at my house in Dallas.
They put a big patch on my eye after the surgery.
Last night was ROUGH – severe pain – even though I was taking 2 darvocet every 4 hours.
This morning they took the patch off my left eye so they could check it. They say it is healing fine but I am blind as a bat. I can’t see anything but light. If you held 3 fingers up in front of my face I can’t see it.
They say my vision will return in 6-8 weeks.
I hope they are right. I could see better before the surgery than I can now.
It was a wierd surgery because I was awake for the whole thing and could see knives and scissors inside my eyeball.
The eye looks terrible – like I was in a fight and lost the battle.
Still have lots of pain. But that should subside in a few days.
I have to lay face down for 2 hours, then I can get up for 1 then face down for 2 hours then up for 1…. so I’ll be offline more than online. But I will be checking in as often as as I can.
I plan to just take it easy this weekend.
