Eye Doc

Eye doc said Whoa I need to send you to a specialist. So I went today. Guess i have a few problems. I need a chemical treatment that is delivered through a needle in the eye, and then some Lazer stuff in the eye too... I've seen star wars - I don't think I want a lazer to the eye very bad.

Had one of my eyes zapped with a laser a year after I had cataract surgery to fix a little problem. It took about 10 seconds after they got the eye dialated and deadened. Fixed the problem and I drove home from KC. Worse part of the deal is the dialation.

I never liked getting dirt in my eye, I can only imagine how wonderful a needle in the eye is going to feel.

They put drops in the eye to deaden it, so you don't feel the needle. When I had my eyes worked on they also gave me a happy pill to "relax."

they would have to make me real happy for me to let them put needles in my eyes.. I can't hardly stand contact lenses on my eyes.

I don't think they told me about the needle until after the happy pill, but I knew I was having the surgery and needed it done to see better.

I'm sure it will be ok-- but $1,700.00 a pop for the meds for the eye seems a bit pricey!

Funny thing is it won't help me see any better-- but it will help me not get any worse!

Went in for a test and a consultation yesterday-- ended up having the firslaser surgery done. Weird! Don't like it, but can live with it. 3 more to go-- next one is going to be easy like tis one-- the next 2 after that are really really going to suck. (Needles and such) But I get to make a new fashion statement and wear an Eyepatch for awhile

AAARRRRRGH! Matey--- Shiver me timbers-- Drink some rum!
