On the other hand, I am so sorry for the pain you endured. Make sure you don't bend at the waist or make sudden fast movements. Try not to blow your nose either.
I too have heard and seen patients scream with the dye injection. I pray you NEVER have to go through that again.

Thank you!!
Yes, I received a very LONG list of STRICT orders from my doctor about what not to do. She told me all about not bending down, not laying on my left side (I had to lay either FLAT on my back or on my right side), no blowing the nose, and if I had to sneeze (which I have been doing CONSTANTLY so I am kind of nervous about that....) she said to try and do it as LIGHTLY as I could. Boy is THAT hard!!!!
Even when we make the trips back and forth to Houston I have to take a pillow and put the seat in the car all the way back and lay down, flat the entire time. No walking either - so it was the wheelchair for me while going back and forth to the hospital. And I don't know HOW many bottles of Purell I've been through since the surgery, LOL. I am just wondering if the stitches in my eye have fallen out yet. I read that after about 2 weeks some of the stitches in the eye get soft and fall out...and I MAY have felt one...but thats it. I am just hoping and Praying that the buckle they put around my left eye is still attached....and of course my Retina
Thank you again and I will keep everyone updated and will be sure to post and let everyone know what the doctor says when I go back
