The second eye surgery also went smoothly, despite the minor annoyance of what felt like a long wait in the pre-op area. My vision now seems a lot better in that eye as well; I'll be surer of how much better when I take the eye shield off, either briefly to put in eye drops, or tomorrow morning. For now, I have the drugstore reading glasses on over the eye shield, which means I'm reading mostly with my left eye.
Like the first surgery, this was easier than I expected. The anesthesiologist predicted I'd remember more of this one, that being how Versed tends to work when given twice in a relatively short period; instead, I remember significantly less, which is fine with me.
Less cheerfully, the doctor's office called while I was in the pre-op area (with my eye dilated etc.) and left a message that they were rescheduling tomorrow morning's appointment to *8:45* instead of 11. I called back after listening to the voicemail and they had nothing later available; the receptionist said Dr. Lazzara was going to be in surgery most of the day, which I assume means something came up on short notice. Elizabeth is a hero of the revolution--her response to this news was that she could do that, but will need a wake-up call. I thanked her, and we discussed the fine points of me handing her a thermos of strong tea when she gets here.
