took the bandage off the eyeball and the post op checkup today.
It is a lot different than last time.
He put a small air bubble in to help it heal.
Can't lean my head back or sleep on my back.
The bubble puts a line across my vision like my eye is a camera half under and half above water.
Jiggles when I move my head like the liquid would in a glass, looks weird. Like looking through an eye half full of water.
It is clearer below the air bubble, but still pretty blurry.
Said the bubble is not clear.
It is a different kind of blurry that when the blood was in my eye.
Going back in a week to see how it is doing.

There is what he called a clot where blood was pooling at the bottom of my eye.
There is still some there because it got into the layers of my eye.
So still have a blob that comes down when I look up.
Says it will clean itself up.

Said he really dropped the pressure in my eye to see if it would bleed and it didn't so thinks he got all of the bleeders. Used 1000 laser shots.
Called my Primary Physician and doubled my BP meds to keep my BP lower than normal.
And Brent is correct the inconsiderate cell phone fiasco is NOT helping in that area.

Have to put a bandage on to sleep, and sleep on my side.
Have to wear sunglasses during the day, and NO RUBBING.

It itches a little where he put a stitch in it.
Have to put drops in 4 times a day.

It was kinda weird. They put me completely out deadened my eye, then brought me back enough I could see and hear what was going on, but couldn't move or speak. The anesthesiologist told me he was going to do it or I would have been freaked out. Was sure glad there was plenty enough local or it would have been a nightmare. Felt loopy until late that evening, then just took some T3 and slept all night.
