Day 2272

 I got up about 8, played games, and then did the pet stuff.  There was no breakfast today because of the surgery.  The surgery center called and wanted me an hour early.  So we hurried up and left.

There was an accident on loop 1, so we had to go into town on Lamar.  Amazingly it was moving pretty well.  We turned back to loop 1 on Barton Creek.  Barton Creek was almost empty.  We got back on loop 1 and managed to get to the surgery center about 5 minutes early.

Surgery went just like the first one.  I got in bed, they put in eye drops, hooked me up to monitors and put me to sleep.I woke up feeling groggy and with a patch on my right eye.  Ellen had a doctor's appointment, but was still able to get back to the center just about the time I was ready to leave.

We stopped at the smoothy place on the way home.  It was OK, but nothing special.  When we got home I did a little surfing and then watched TV.  I ate a really late dinner even though I wasn't really hungry.

About 10 I started seeing flashing lights in my right eye.  I called the emergency line.  They called back and fucking Verizon sent the call to voicemail.  I called again and this time Verizon rang the phone.  They listened to the symptoms and said not to worry.

I was supposed to sleep on my left side.  I tried, but I kept starting to vomit in my sleep.  I finally got up and slept in the recliner.  The anesthesia always gives me heartburn and vomiting in my throat.

I'm really looking forward to seeing clearly in both eyes tomorrow.
