Had a morning eye opener.

At 07:00AM this morning my Son Andy and I set off for Florissant MO. for my 07:45AM appointment at the Surgical Center for my Cataract surgery. It took about 2 hours and when It was over the doctor said it came out excellent and I will be happy with the results,I could see right away on the way home that I had brighter and clearer vision.

Tomorrow I have a follow up appointment at the eye center in St Peters Mo. I will have to keep it covered with plastic cover while  sleep at night for about a week, and Donna will be putting drops in until they are used up. In about a month they will do my left eye, I don’t have a date yet.

No pain and really not a bad experience. Just a little sleepy from the medication, they don’t put you to sleep but they give you a heavy pain masker. No driving for at least 24 hours.

That's about it for now,everyone be careful out there. Sam & Donna…..

  1. You had it pretty nice. I think I had to wear the patch until I went back to the doctor the next morning for the initial checkup. Then I did have to wear the plastic cover at night.
