Apprehensive about my big day tomorrow

The day has finally arrived that I will be undergoing another operation on my right eye. This will involve cutting away a part of the sack that holds the artificial lens I was given during the cataract operation.
Due to the rather unorthodox appointment time of 7-30 AM, I will start the day at 5 AM. This in itself will be a rarity for me because I consider that to be late tonight rather than early tomorrow.
If the operation is successful I may end up back in line for a cataract operation on the left eye soon, although potential complications could prove quite catastrophic.
I am hoping to be on Mylot tomorrow afternoon, but I am absent then it may be some time before I revisit.

My wife has had to twice undergo similar surgery after her cataracts were removed and both were very successful. I hope yours goes well too.

@Asylum Time has a tendency to slow down at times of worry, yes. My cataract op last Friday went relatively quickly, and the results, I have to say, are pretty impressive. Just a pity I have to wait some weeks to get my glasses prescription changed, but I have found an older pair of glasses with a weaker lenses in that makes it a little more bearable in the interim.

Due to the time difference, you have already had your surgery. I hope it went well and that you have a speedy and complete recovery. Fingers crossed.

@ElizabethWallace It needs to stay permanent because I am not prepared to undergo that type of surgery again.

@Asylum Good. Gary and I were worried about you. Happy that you are doing alright. Good luck with the healing part. Fingers crossed that your wound behaves itself this time.

@Asylum I definitely wrote a whole lot more to my comment, but half of it seems to have disappeared.. Oh well. Stay strong! Since the doctors are fully qualified, it'll be okay in the end. ^_^ And we myLotters will be waiting until you recover!

@Sei_Ryoku It is not unknown for part of a comment not to post, but fortunately scarce.

Good luck for tomorrow. Don't think of the worst that could happen just think of the best that can happen! Keep positive! I had to be there for 07:30 it passes quickly because every 15- 30 minutes they put drops in your eyes to anaethetise them. You will be fine my friend.
