I also mentioned that I drive a Rincoln not a Catarac. She wasn't very happy with my joke. Oh well.

I have had two eye surgeries so far, first was retinal surgery. That caused a cataract to form, almost expected, so I then had cataract surgery. Of coarse two different surgeons. I asked each of them, and they did not routinely put people to sleep. I said in the nicest kindest way there was no way in H&@) I was having this while awake, and if they would not put my to sleep I would find someone who would. Although it is up to the anesthesiologist, I was out for both my procedures and remember nothing. Recovery was quick and easy, I was lucky. Hope you have the same outcomes.
