Latest surgery schedule

I am now scheduled for surgery Tues 23 at 11:45. That is if all goes well.

I woke up with a very nasty eye infection. I have no idea how or where I got it, but I got it. Just in my left eye.

I began to wake from a very nice sleep last night and as I was trying to open my eyes my one eye seemed a bit reluctant to cooperate with me. I just rested and thought that it was a bit strange but I didn't really think I had an infection. I rolled around and woke at my leisure thinking it might be a bit of a long day today waiting to find out when surgery was going to be. I still had a bit of a time with my eye so I finally decided to get out of bed and see what the matter was.

I looked in the mirror and was shocked to see my eyeball totally red and a drippy gunky eye with crusty stuff on it.

I couldn't believe it. Was this going to be a problem now?? I had just had this happen 6 weeks ago when I first got this terrible cold I got or what ever it was. It went from one eye to the other in less than a few hours. I got sicker and sicker by the min back then. Well I knew I wasn't going to get sick but I sure knew how much worse that eye could get. Right then it wasn't swollen or red on the skin around the eye and I wanted to stay that way at least if not way better.

I got on the darn phone and started making calls. I knew I had to fill in everyone about all my news and try to get antibiotic eye drops as fast as I could.

All this took forever. It is a well known fact that you can't speak to a human being anymore and sometimes you just simply have to. But that doesn't matter, you're not going to get to. So I spent the whole morning and afternoon trying to connect with this Dr. and that Dr. and all their nurses.

The finally decision was that there really couldn't be a decision until tomorrow when I'm there at surgery and everyone can see me then and how I am cough and eye wise and each Dr. can make their own decision on what they will and will not do.

So I'm showing up and seeing if it will go forward. I have a feeling it will. My eye already looks much much better though there is still a little redness. I've been extremely careful not to get it into the other eye or in my system somehow. I even changed the sheets a few mins ago.

I'm still coughing but it's only a little and I still have tonight and tomorrow to improve on that too.

So, please anyone reading this, pray for me that I get to have the surgery tomorrow. I really need to do this. Oh yeah, the surgeon's nurse thought the redness was no big deal and disregarded it right away. So I really do hope it's all straight ahead now tomorrow. Wish me luck please.
