If I was to have written this the evening of my surgery (Tuesday) it would have said:
IT HURTS! I LOOK TERRIBLE AND FEEL WORSE.
By yesterday afternoon things had greatly improved. The post-op showed that the cornea was adhering - one of the biggest potential problems, it seems. The Dr. said everything looks fine and I will be seeing him again March 3.
If I cover my good eye I can see shapes which are getting more clear all the time, although I still don't see any detail with that eye.
I'll write more either later today or tomorrow. This is the first time I've turned my computer on, and the first time I've used my reading glasses. Other than feeling really tired (maybe because of the pain medication I'm taking) I feel great. And speaking of pain, I would call it that rather than "discomfort". Msybe it's because I'm getting older but I felt more pain than I expected to, especially during the surgical process. Oh well, it's past me now and I'm just going to concentrate on getting better every day. I hope that when I have the other eye done I can be completely "out" or at least more sedated.
I have lots of thoughts to pass along, but will hold them for later.

Before beginning the arduous task of reading blogs that I've neglected during the past week(I haven't been on the computer nearly as much as usual), I thought I'd write a few paragraphs. I am a little edgy today probably because of my upcoming...
- Short Update
To let you know I'm still alive I thought I would post a quick update. All the blood test results turned out better than I or the doctor expected, even though I'm still a bit anemic. I have an appointment to see my doctor next...

That describes how I've been feeling the past week, and yesterday was a particularly bad day for me. Ever since having a stent implant to open a blocked artery in 2004, I have been on a regimen of daily aspirin which has caused severe...

Everything went well yesterday, although I was in enough pain I took strong narcotic pills afterwards and last night. They really helped and even made my hand feel better. I went for the post op this morning and I can actually read letters on the eye...
