Explanation: Hi :heya:

I am going to have eye surgery for the very 1st time to fix the cataract in my left eye at 8:15am tomorrow my time [eastern Australia timezone], about just over 12 hrs away.

I will be awake for the surgery and I have been informed the surgery takes about half an hour to complete!

Personal Disclosure: I am not feeling overly anxious but I did feel the need to inform my fellow HH members about what was going on as I tend to post daily and I might not be able to post for a few days to a week.

Looking forward to having improved eyesight again as reading anything has become a major hassle! :cheer:

I am praying for a great eye Doctor with steady hands as I am going through the public system!

I hope to be literally seeing you all again soon! :thumbs-up:

To all our best health! :cheers:

Fantastic! I hope that it goes smoothly and as it should for you. You will be in my thoughts for your surgery and a fast recovery. I am excited for you that you will have improved vision and be able to read easier. I will definitely miss your posts while you are away recovering, though, and be eager to see you posting once your eye is healed and want to hear how it all went for you.

Don't strain it by trying to rush back into doing things that will tire it or make you have a longer recovery.

Good luck!
Take care,
Cindi

Good luck with that mate.
I know it's a little-late in day for changes in surgery personel
proceedure, but I've asked Boy In A Dress to 'oversee' the
operation and at this very moment, he's now waiting at the
airport for the next-flight out.

He looked confident as he placed a borrowed dust-mask over
his grinning mouth -after meekly asking for my wife's washing
-up rubber gloves. He has unwrapped his newly-purchased
gardening trowel and placed it in his paper shopping-bag with
a seriousness he rarely exhibits.

The bag has string handles.

Well, yes... technically it could be called a spade. If a digging
instrument that is around four-and-half foot long, have a handle
at one end and square-ish blade on the other could be classed as
a... er, it's a spade.

Oh heck! he took the freakin' spade?! :face-palm:

Edit: No... wait! I overeacted (which is rare on a conspiracy website, nuh?!)
... The spade is still in it's place.

Oh my, the pick-axe is missing.

Congrats! Those corrective surgeries are wonderful to have when you have a good medical plan to cover it. I keep bugging my hubby to get his eyes done and even look into some laser eye surgery for correcting his vision.

With glasses though - he's a sharpshooter. He uses both eyes but his right eye I believe is his lens eye. The Military asked him to be two things in training to consider and he turned down - the first was to be a sniper in the Army. I always tease him - that if he had laser eye surgery - imagine the super eyes he'd have!

I'll keep you in my thoughts for a safe surgery and recovery OL.

Well, I'm sorry I wasn't here to wish you well before you left, Omega.

By the time you DO get this and see it, it'll be over then, I assume. I'm sure everything came out fine then...

...and there is no solution for the pain I'll guess your feeling by the time you do read this. Just get off the computer for a day or two, or wear a black eye patch to block 100% of light. Nothing else works for that kind of hurt...and it'll pass. 3-4 days, as it ought to be.

Glad you got this done tho! I'll bet it makes a big difference to your quality of life!

I hope your surgery is uneventful, and your recovery rapid. :rose:
