Yes, Beverly, Olwyn Mary, and everyone else, the cataract removal was "Just a walk in the park" as you said. As you suggested, I did tell the surgeon about the nervousness, but he was one step ahead. Since he does all his cataract surgeries on Thursday mornings, he has an anesthesiologist on board. He did 6 this past Thursday and I was # 4. We were told to be there at 6:30 in the morning, and we were home before 10:00.
Neither of us had breakfast before leaving the house, {DS never eats in the mornings}. We had a light snack and promptly went to sleep for a couple hours, then got up to a delicious lunch DS prepared. He is an excellent cook and does a lot of it, especially on weekends.
Friday morning, we were in his office at 8:15 to have the bandage off and an exam; it was declared a complete success and I was given a follow-up appointment for Nov. 1st, and another one to have the 2nd eye done on Dec. 2nd, the week after returning from SC for Thanksgiving. Thanks to all of you for your thoughts & prayers; and a special thanks to Beverly for the gorgeous gift. A proper thanks will be sent soon.
