I think they just don't take enough time and make sure to take it easy and not bruise you. They are probably under time constraints so just do whatever they have to do to get it done. It's our wonderful medical insurance system we can thank.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-70709568501037758602015-08-20T15:28:08.530-04:002015-08-20T15:28:08.530-04:00This is very interesting to me as I need to go in ...This is very interesting to me as I need to go in and have both eyes done, after we wind down our Northwest travels and get back in the SF Bay area.

FYI, Arnica montana is a good herb to take for a few weeks before surgery. It helps to lessen bruising and swelling. <br /><br />Bob has been through this, too. He now wears glasses with only one lens in them. I keep telling him he should get a monocle.
