Good morning all!

First eye cataract at Noon today. A bit nervous. Don't like things messing around my eyes.

Hope you all have a good day!!

Good morning Penny.

I was watching the Hurricanes game last night, they have a player named Logan Stankoven. He scored a goal and the announcer said "put some stank on it".

Penny, the cataract surgery is a piece of cake. I had my right eye done 3 years ago. I remember being wheeled down the hall from the pre-op area to the operating room, then the next thing I remember was someone tapping me on the shoulder telling me I could leave. I was there for about 2 1/2 hours but the procedure only takes 10-15 minutes.

WOW -- where is everybody???

Oh, I guess Penny is at the surgery place.....

It's damp outside -- yuck.

I had my first OT visit this morning. She didn't do much output some heavy heat on my arm and then massage with some cocoa butter. She did replace the "sleeve" under the brace with a compression one since I have a little more swelling than I did when she made the brace. 3 more visits scheduled for next week. at $20 copay per visit that will add up quickly. But I will start to have basic at home stuff to do soon after that.

Hello Larry !

Hi there! We saw a health insurance broker and our super good deal is no more. We have each had our premium skyrocket from 6$ a month to 25$ a month. My old plan used to be 280$, so I'm ok with it.

Good luck today, Linda and Penny!

Hi boys and girls!

Surgery went fine, as far as I can tell. Their wifi was down, so manual paperwork for everything. That part took longer than the surgery!! We were done in 2 hours, surgery took 20 minutes. I was never under anesthesia, just a pill of valium, which didn't do much for me.

Hate the patch on my eye, but can take it off in the morning, and just for 3 days of sleep.

1 down, 1 to go (next Wednesday).

Thanks all!!

Thanks for checking in, Ms Pirate for a day!
In all seriousness, I am glad it went well but I am amazed you were able to tolerate the procedure with just valium...
I am not sure I could do that!

There were so many numbing eye drops I felt nothing.

Great to hear phase 1 is complete successfully!
Only time I ever wore a patch was once I got a minor scratch on my eye over 40 years ago. Hated the patch. As I recall the patch lasted 12 hours at most before I couldn’t take it anymore. It bugged me more than the scratch did ,

And this patch is a very hard, clear plastic, with holes in it. 👁
