Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and wishes for K🙂
She had the operation on Tuesday morning and they were very pleased with how it went
We stayed Tuesday night and she had a 24 hr vision test Wednesday morning - they were very pleased with that too! From not being able to read top letter of vision chart with left eye she can now read several lines down (except mistakes with tricky letters H/N D/O etc) She also has double vision and spots in front of her eyes , and sometimes colours are wrong - but this is getting better all the time too.
Now it's a case of working hard to heal the eye - we have some drops every two waking hours for 4 weeks, other drops 4 times a day 2 weeks. After 4 weeks the 2 hourly drops change to twice a day.
She is not happy about the drops or her eyes being bloodshot or no make up basically til 2nd eye done, and is still very tired, but there are glimpses of the 'old K' - especially good that she is moaning that it will be difficult to go put with friends if she has to have drops every two hours - she hadn't been out with a friend (or wanted to) since last August!
Anyway will post later about our adventures with diabetes/food/med staff whilst in hospital 🙂eek🙂 but just wanted to give update and say thank you. I hope all are OK as I have not had chance to read any posts.
