With the 2nd eye they used a nurse who was trained in administering the anesthesia, and I was aware of what was going on, even if groggy. I remember having a metal thing around my eye on my face and I saw the dr. struggling with it. Since I was mostly out of it I really don't know what was going on, but I think some device to hold your eye open is what caused the bruising.

Could not get them to confirm availability for our dates (which included Labor Day) on a message, just kept saying they were returning my call. So frustrating! Finally got a live person yesterday and we're in, but geeeeeez! Those bruises look like they did the surgery with a wooden spoon :-( A very sweet set-up at your new spot, hope it's cooler as predicted and you've been back on the trail with two new eyes (and no more bruises).Jodee Gravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02247098923871155546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-40520109922791841422015-08-07T10:54:26.673-04:002015-08-07T10:54:26.673-04:00Glad all is going well.

I've heard of people having both eyes done at once, but I think your way it better..just in case there was a problem.<br /><br />You said you chose the monovision like you had with your contacts for so long. I thought you had one contact for close up and one for distance? Are the new lenses different? I know I'll be making those same decisions soon, so I'm trying to learn from your experience.<br /><br />I've heard of the horse pads before, but didn't realize they could be used to help level your site. Our current site slopes to the rear and those would be great. The way it is now, we have to extend the rear jacks a lot and I don't like doing that, even though the front tires are on the ground. I think I'll have to pick some up. Thanks for showing the picture.<br /><br />I hope your site is cool for you. It's been unusually hot here in Blairsville this year and we're sure looking for some cooler weather.<br /><br />Good luck on your next surgery (you've probably had it by now) and enjoy your new site.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4309293625176086078.post-47062622956819983602015-08-06T10:18:02.264-04:002015-08-06T10:18:02.264-04:00Looking good, Sherry! eye patch, bruising and all...Looking good, Sherry! eye patch, bruising and all.
