Well, I had my first cataract surgery today and my reward was pizza this evening. The last word I heard as the procedure was finishing was my doctor saying 'perfect.' Always a good sign. I'm always intrigued by the questions they ask before the procedure. I'm pretty sure I was asked my name at least 27 times by different staff persons followed by my date of birth. Do they really think someone else is going to sneak in and take my place? The question I was most concerned about though was "Which eye are we doing today?" The doctor even put a sticky dot on the left side of my forehead. Did they think I might change my mind half way through? Over and over and over again I was asked which eye? I'm happy to report they did operate on the correct one and the results seem good. In three weeks the right eye will be the right eye.
