Well, I've been absent for awhile. I've read everything and caught up with everyone. My husband had eye surgery on the 1st of May. It was an eyelid lift and resection. We are talking serious aftercare from me. He had both done at the same time to get it over with. We would not have done this if we had realized all the detailed care I'd have to do. I've slept in his worn out (won't let me get rid of it) recliner since the surgery. I have to get up at 2-3:00 a.m. to put more ointment in and on his eyes. I won't bore you all with the rest of the many details. This isn't something that was voluntary or un-nessary surgery. It was affecting his vision by about 50%. Not safe to drive.

Sleeping in a recliner with my butt issues and back issues has been a whole lot of serious fun. I'm walking like Melody all bent over. But if I go to bed and am comfortable I don't wake up when I'm susposed to. Today, he was going to drive himself to the doctor. He can't even see to read the newspaper and I walk out to get in the car and he's behind the steering wheel. I said NOT!! to him and told him he would get out and I would drive. And he says why?

He's fought me every inch of the way with letting me do what is written on a 3 1/2 page typed sheet of paper for aftercare. I am very bent out of shape with men at the moment. I suspect most women on here will agree that I have right to not be happy with him. We see the doctor again tomorrow and I'm hoping she (yes..she) takes a bite out of him.

Sleep well and have less pain all.
