Day 4 post surgery - Thurs 8 June 06


I'm feeling bored and restless still. Am used to working out and now that I can't and have to just sit and watch tv as there's nothing else I can do cos I only have one functional eye is really challenging. Sometimes the eye gets blurry and I can't even look at the laptop though mostly it's been ok; though last nite it was a bit blurry for a while.

I think this surgery wasn't as major as the last surgery, thankfully. My bowels are still moving which is wonderful as that's one of the worst parts about recovery when you're feeling bloated.

I woke up this morning and my eyes felt slightly dry but I can't obviously do anything to my left eye cos it's all bandaged up. I cleansed my right eye with saline solution and put in the eye drops they gave me plus took my anbitiotics and steroids ie predinostone, though not before giving reiki to it. Today is my last dose of predinostone (spelling?) thankfully; though I think I have a little more of the antibiotics to go through.

Tomorrow I go to see Jane to get my bandage removed along with the traction on my left eye ie the thread that is hanging from my lower eyelids.

My left knee hurt this am and is starting to bruise a little (yellow). My right eye seems to be opening more and I'm not sure if it's becoming more swollen - I guess it has to go through the stages. I am giving my eyes reiki healing though haven't been taking arnica (only on the day of surgery did I take arnica) - just haven't gotten round to taking it since as I'm always drinking water and you're not supposed to take homeopathy 15 mins before and after water.

I still can't get the blogger to accept pictures which is frustrating.
