Cataract

[mmerriam]

Things went about as well at the ophthalmologist's as could be expected. My cataract surgery is scheduled for early January 2010, but I have plenty of other medical hoops still to jump through beforehand. In other news, I've lost my mind and agreed to be awake for the eye surgery. They'll use a topical anesthetic to deaden the eye and drugs to keep me sedated.

Let us know if you could use drivers or hotdish or soup or anything else of note when this is scheduled to happen.

I suspect careswen might like someone to come and sit with her while I'm in surgery. She was alone last time and there were...issues. I'll let her explain that part.

I'd be glad to be there. I have much experience of hospitals.

They held my husband for hours longer than they said it would take, and nobody would tell me why. Turns out the delay had nothing to do with him, but I was scared to death.

Ackackack. Yes, we could totally dispatch monkeys to sit with you and bring you tea and things and make comforting remarks should that sort of thing happen again.
