Ow

OAFS Photo
No new fiction today.

Had a glaucoma shunt installed in the left eye on Tuesday. While not really painful, the procedure was tedious.

It's only afterwards that it began to sting, just a bit. (And it's the annoying, niggling sort of pain.)

As I suck at typing to begin with, and suck worse with only one eye in battery, I've decided to wait until tomorrow to pick up our tale of skullduggery and nastiness in Scotland.

Stay tuned ...

    Eye surgery no fun, niggling a good word for it. Had the double cataract thing done, the "no touching " rule was tough. Never realized how often I just reach up and rub briefly! Get better.

      Yes, no touching is no fun. The itch is maddening.

    Sarge,
    Well. Regardless of how it looks, I’m glad it went well. Hang in there

      FWIW I'd never heard of a glaucoma shunt before, something new! Hang in there...

      FWIW, I'd never heard of it until the Doc said I needed one.

    Only a temporary inconvenience for you, with an excellent and quick prognosis.

    On the bright side, this gives us an opportunity to talk or type about a topic which makes people's lives better and longer, and in a few days will bring forth words giving happiness and inspiration, eager for more of the same.

    Otherwise we might be overwhelmed by nightmares about having been shoved into a cesspit by our neighbors.

    This too shall pass.

    In solidarity, I'm reading this post with just my right eye.

    Yeah, wait until you have both eyes, we don't want to read just half sentences anyway!

    I'm praying for a quick return to normal for you Sarge. Eye stuff is particularly aggravating. It is so hard to keep the hands off. You'll be fine, just another (aaaargh!) lesson in patience.

Just be polite... that's all I ask. (For Buck)
Can't be nice, go somewhere else...
