Eye Surgery

I had posted a little story about my eyes and the upcoming surgery here. I have received many notes from people asking for an update, here it is.

I had my retinal reattachment surgery yesterday and I'll admit I was nervous and your mind plays games with you. I'm a control freak, I admit it but there are thing you must leave to the professions but I wanted details. How long was the surgery? Would it hurt? Will I hear anything? Will I see anything? When will I be able to see clearly again in that eye?
I had a million questions and the incredibly patient nurses, doctors, admin, volunteers...everyone...they answere them all.

I wasn't being put completely asleep, just enough to make me dosey and that scared me. I didn't want to hear, feel or see anything, I didn't want to be aware. They assured me they would give me a little more 'party juice'
(anesthesia). My nerves got the best of me and I was calmly crying, heart racing as they wheeled me into the operating room. I explained why I was upset, they reassured me everything was going to be ok saying I will probably hear beeping of the heart monitor, maybe see the flashing lights of the lasar I would'nt care and i wouldn't feel a thing they assured me.
That was it....I guess the party juice kicked it. I remember hearing my docotor ask for scissors and thinking 'really,what for?' I remember hearing the heart monitor steadily beeping and thinking 'I seem calm'. I even saw a few bright flashes in my eye but it was like a weird out of body experience, you heard things, you saw things, I even felt the cloth over my good eye and someones hand touching  mine.

Surgery, recovery and home to bed....  just emotionally drained.

I have to say, I have a funny family, I mean they make me laugh, each in their own way. last night on facebook I posted the above picture, eye patch and all. My sister Suzy reposted the picture and added some details with the following comment
