Update on my eye surgery

The Doctor said everything looks good at my checkup yesterday and she gave me a choice of seeing her in 2 weeks or 4 weeks, I chose 2 weeks. She said I can sleep on my left or right side, am allowed light activities like walking or cooking. She said sleeping on my back with the gas bubble still in my eye is known to cause or hasten cataracts. I can weed when the gas bubble is gone ( I had to ask her).  That would be in another month or so.  She said it would be ok if I attend a few family or friends functions planned in the upcoming weeks.  Fingers crossed things stay stable.Thanks for all your supportive comments, much appreciated.

I'm happy for you—so take care and only do what you're allowed to... it'll be over soon, and everything will be fine then!

And you obviously don't have to comment on my blog. I totally understand and I'd rather you not strain yourself if you don't have to

What interesting doc orders and limitations. Feels like you're supposed to walk on eggshells, but better than sleeping on the table with the hole in it! Linda in Kansas

Christine, I’m relieved things are progressing smoothly. Choosing the 2‑week follow‑up sounds wise--you’ll feel reassured sooner.
Wishing you comfort, healing, and happy little outings with loved ones.
