EYE SURGERY COMPLETE 6-18-09

The first part of April 09, I went to my annual eye appointment. My vision had gotten terrible and I was getting concerned about it. The eye exam showed that I was just about blind in my left eye do to a very large cataract that had developed over the past year. So the date was set for the surgery to get it removed and today was the day.

Here I sit in the Doctor's office waiting to go get prepped. I am not anxious about the surgery as Dr. Kelly has done a billion of these. I look this way because I am still mad about getting all my hair cut off as well as my beard. But that's a story for another day.

This was as I got into the car after the surgery. Doc said the surgery went great. I am still a little groggy as you can tell by my right eye. I go back to the doc this afternoon and they are going to take the patch off and let me look around.

The visit to the doc's at 3 p.m. was a big disappointment. When he took the patch off, I had a major case of double vision. I mean it was so bad that I looked at him and two feet away was another image of him. But he said that was pretty common following surgery. Good news is: that it will get better. Bad news is: no motorcycle riding for a week or so. Holy crap!!! I haven't been off the bike more that 2 days since I got it back in January 08... I guess I will get a whole bunch of computer work done including some blog maintenance I have been putting off. I go back to see the doc next Thursday. Hopefully all will be good & he will cut me loose..
