a view through my own eyes

Back to the hospital today for the post operative checkup.

Fortunately things are looking pretty good considering what can be seen with the amount of blood in the way. The growth appears to have been removed but we won’t be totally sure for a couple of weeks. Before the op I was told that it would be a bit of an exploration as you can’t really see how bad the growth is until they start delving. In the end they had to detach one of the muscles from my eye, remove the growth and restitch the muscle back into place. This then explains why its so sodding painful to move my eyes at the moment. Codeine is my friend btw.

The cataract lens replacement is settling down nicely but will take a few weeks to be fully expanded and in place. The slightly differing colours from one eye to the other is down to the new lens being perfectly clear where the human lens in the other eye has a slight hue which is apparently normal and varies from one person to the next. In any case my vision is marvellous compared to before but won’t be able to get my glasses sorted out for a few weeks. Most importantly George is fine. Phew.
