I had an operation on my bad eye yesterday. Even though I lost the sight of it 8 years ago. The pressure never went down. Over the years it started to eat up the eye. It's been painful for the last year. It felt like I was sprayed with pepper spray all the time.
I couldn't take it anymore and gave into being cut on. They took the eye out and cut away all the parts that cause the high pressure and pain. The cornea was all chewed up and removed too. I had it done in Colorado Springs which is about 100 miles away. I don't impose on anybody to drive me, so me and Buddy went alone. They asked me who was going to drive me home. I said me. Oops! Not going to work. They said it's against their policy. I'd have too much sedation in me to let me drive.
Well, we went back and forth and the only way we could agree was to give me no sedation. I said ok. Bad move on my part. I was awake for the whole hour long operation. Not much fun. Especially when they sewed the eyelid closed. It stays that way for a month. After a month they put in a permanent lens that will match my other eye. In the old days they would have put in a glass eye. This is the latest way to do it.
No sleep last night with pain and the eye bleeding like crazy. It feels like i've been hit with a baseball bat.
The doc gave my codeine, but i'm not taking that shit.
That's my eye story.
