Many thanks to the nearly 100 people who were interested in the eye surgery and lent their good wishes. They say the surgery was successful. I took the bandage off my eye in the office. The lens was back where it is supposed to be. They had to drain most of the gel in the back of my eye to find it. It went there through a tear in the capsule. I was conscious through most of the surgery. For example. I remember the macular surgeon saying, “We’re in business!” when he found the lens! It looks like no macular damage in the process, which was a possibility. It is still sore three days later but the vision is getting clearer all the time. I am having trouble putting the two images together but that is getting better, too. They say this was more serious and recovery will take longer. The image was yellowish at first from remaining blood from the process, but that is mostly gone. The other eye is good. And overall, I’m happy. If everything will be OK, I can be patient.
