Debra Dugan asked me on Facebook how nervous I was about last Tuesday's retinal surgery. I told her, "The idea is scarier than the experience. A lady wearing a patch over one eye was on the elevator with me when I checking in. This meant she had surgery yesterday and was coming for the first post-op visit. I said to her, "You're me tomorrow." She said, "That was the most relaxed I've ever been!"
Before the surgery, they sedate you and block the pain so you don't go to sleep and move around. So, I could hear the conversation between the surgeon, NA, and a guy who seemed to be a surgical gear salesman. The worst part was lying on my back and not being able to shift my position.
