Just another thank you to everyone for the well wishes.

I had surgery on Wednesday night which took a bit over 2 hours as they had to remove the cataract (to do a lense replacement) before the doing retina as the cataract was so large and dense they couldn't see through it at all. What an exhausting day. I must have been seen by a dozen people from 8:00am when the hospital opened before I finally got wheeled in for the op around 4:45pm. All credits to Sydney Eye Hospital for getting me through it with the huge number of people that they already had in for booked ops on the day.

So the good news is that my cataract surgery is done as well as the retina. Fingers crossed now.

I got discharged yesterday morning and got the train back to Taree arriving back last night. The lovely lady at NSW trainlink put me in a seat that had one vacant next to it so I could lay on my side all the way back.

I now have to lay on my right side for the next 5 days while the gas in my eye get replaced with eye fluid. (McDuck I now have a pair of green wrist bands!!).

I just got up to have something to eat and thought I'd give an update.

The eye is a pretty sorry sight with all the family cringing when I open it. (An extreme amount of redness and some bleeding).

I can't wait to catch up on all the posts I see that I haven't read, but I have to go back to the bed as it still hurts quite a bit moving the eye around reading with the other as you'd expect.
 
Thanks again for the well wishes, they certainly brought me a pleasing result.

Good stuff Uni, take it easy.
Had both eyes (Lens Replacement) done in 2010.
Takes a while but the end result was brilliant.
It took probably 6 months for tiny black specks to be absorbed in the eyeballs,
so don't be concerned if you see little floaters hanging around.

Wonderful result.!

[JeffH]

Sounds like a good result with the eye -just a bit of time will probably show continual improvement.
Now, when are you booked in for the pun upgrade operation? (Just kidding -keep it up.)
