    going in

    I have to be at the eye surgeon's office at 1:45 on monday. No food (good grief!) from 12:00 midnight to the surgery. I have to put eye drops in my right eye 4 times a day until the surgery. I'm so ready to have this done!

    Oh, good luck!

    And when they say no eating, nothing but water, as hard as it is, they mean it! Gosh, they couldn't give you an early appoitment so you'd only notice skipping breakfast? Our thoughts will be with you!

    Get ready to sing it, brother ...

    Karen, I'll be singing that, and get ready to groan, "It'll be an eye opening experience!"

    That was my thought too. My boss is an ophthalmologist and does about 12 cataract surgeries a month. He has three cataract surgery days and does four patients on each surgery day. Patients are always scheduled to be at the surgical center around 8:00 AM and diabetic patients are done first. They are allowed sips of their important medications (BP) the morning of surgery but that is all. Are you controlled by a pill which you will be able to take in the morning?

    David I will be thinking of you and wishing you well!

    We'll have you on our minds and in our prayers. Just think after this is over you can consult the rest of us who may one day have to undergo this procedure.
