Day 1490

Ellen got up at 4:45.  I don't know why.  She woke me up and fucked around for about 20 minutes before coming back to bed.  I managed to get back to sleep for a few minutes before getting up at 5:30.  We got dressed, did the pet stuff, and were out of the place in 15 minutes.

There was almost no traffic on the way to the surgery center.  When I got there the door I'd used before was locked.  Ellen found another door.  When I checked in there was about 6 pages of forns for me to read and fill out.  That was stupid, they could have done that last week.

After the paperwork I sat for about 15 minutes.  Then we took me to the back.  I lay on a bed while they put drops in my eyes and gave e a strong anti-histamine as a sleeping pill.  They also put some jell in my eye.  That wasn't pleasant.

After talking to the anesthesiologist and surgeon (basically hi, how are you) they wheeled me to the operating room.  There were at least 6 people there.  I got one eye covered and the other held over.  I got a band to hold my head still, and I got drugs.  The procedure itself was completely painless.  All I remember is brightly colored bright lights.

After the procedure they sat me in a wheel chair and left me for awhile.  Then they wheeled me out to the car and Ellen drove us to the post office.  I was told not to open my eye for the rest of the day.  After the post office we bought some Tylenol at CVS and went home.  I needed the Tylenol, my eye hurt.  I was sleepy and when we got home I went directly to bed and slept for over six hours.

I woke up at 3:15.  I got up and did a little surfing.  It was hard to remember to keep my eye shut.  A little later Ellen came home from shopping and John and Melissa showed up.  Amazon brought the door opener I'd ordered.  It didn't work.  Everyone grilled me on the surgery.

Melissa fixed turkey casserole for dinner.  It was good.  After dinner it was some more talk and football.  I fell asleep.  I woke up later and ordered another opener.  Then it was bed time.
