Hey everyone, I had a really good surgery. I was on top of the list, but it seriously was a nerve-wrecking experience.
As I registered with the hospital, they took me in, checked my vital signs and everything, and in a half hour or so later, the doctors took me to the surgeon room. My head was taped to the bed. I was hooked with IV. Several monitors were hooked up on me, and they gave me a sedative. I was half awake and half asleep, but it didn't even feel that long. It was a 30 minute surgery. They freezed the shit out of my left eye and started doing the job.
It took them a while to wake me up, and it took me a while to get into my senses. My left eye is now covered for 24 hours with a shield, and I have some tests to get done tomorrow. I still had the effects of the sedative and it made me talk so different. The doctor asked if I was fine, I said yes...then for some odd reason I started crying. I started talking to everyone like a 6 year old child and couldn't properly look at people because my eyes were burning and had a throbbing feeling. They explained to me and everyone what to do, I'm on meds but I understood 60% of what they said because I wasn't fully conscious but now I'm just dependent on my family tzake care of me, lol.
I spent the full car ride home talking to my family but was fully emotional and it was painful. I couldn't close any of my eyes when I wanted to sleep when I got home (10:30ish?) and eventually did at 11 AM.
Just got woken up with meds and feel EXTREMELY weak but at least the pain I had in my eyes are not as significant as it was before. I can close them now.
Thank you so much everyone for your wishes and everything, means a lot. I feel like I didn't express this as well to my doctor (but did to my nurses) while on the sedative, so will give him a sincere thank-you tomorrow during my follow-up appointment.
