Day after Surgery

I had my surgery yesterday. I stayed overnight since we live 3 hours away from the sugery center.

 

Now I'm on a liquid diet for 3 days, then thick liquids for two weeks, then two weeks of mushies.

 

My follow up visit is local and is next week. First fill I believe isn't until week 4.

 

I'm doing great....so far my pain is really just a little discomfort and soarness....about a 1 or 2 out of 10. I was worried it would be way worse then this, but it really isn't bad at all. It is a great relief. I'm taking pain medicine only at night to help with sleeping, but I'm just fine in the day.

 

I had chicken broth with unjury chicken soup added in for protein today. I'm not hungry at all....but I know I need to get liquid and protein in for healing.

 

I found out my original surgeon had cornea transplants.....good god, how bad were his eyes? The replacement surgeon was awesome, he had about 20 years of doing these types of surgeries.
