Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2006hello!
Doing this in one fell swoop!: Happy birthday to Bono! May you have many, many more. CGTS to Jean and Wilson! We have a star in our midst. And now for some health news. My cataract surgery went swimmingly well last Tuesday. No pain anywhere except I have a swollen parotid gland, don't know where that came from and I am sucking on sour lemon candy to try and alleviate the discomfort. The eye is brilliant a bit wobbly still with sight, but now I can see from it and quite a bit sharper than the other one. It itches like hell which I hope is a good sign that it's healing. Have to keep putting drops in for about another week or so, and sleep with a shield over the eye. Lily kept jumping on the bed and peering at me as if to say: what the f***, Mom. What IS that? Anyway, Doctor says go and do everything you were doing before, just no lifting or bending deeply just yet but everything looks good. Thanks for all the purrs and prayers. If you're going to go have surgery, cataract surgery is the one to have, LOL!

I'm glad the surgery went well. Lots of purrs for the itching to stop soon and for everything to settle down. Will you be having the other eye done?

Adrian, hopefully the other eye doesn't get so bad that I have to have it done also, but I will if it warrants it. Not soon, I hope. :( Lily's mama SignatureIrulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time > Doing this in one fell swoop!: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > cataract surgery is the one to have, LOL! > Lily's mama, Lydia Isn't the difference after cataract surgery amazing? In another few weeks, it will be even more noticeable. In the meantime, tell your doctor about the itching, even if you have to make a special call. There are drops they can prescribe for that. I know, more eyedrops, but you put in only one drop, and it really does stop the itching. Actually, you may need the artificial tear kind of drops indefinitely, as the surgery sometimes leaves you with dry eyes, but it's still worth it.

Actually I did talk to my doctor and she said she didn't want me to put anything else besides the meds in my eye but to try a cold compress on it for relief. So I just told myself MIND OVER MATTER and if I don't think about it and keep myself busy I don't notice the itching. Heh. Lily's mama SignatureIrulan from the stars we come to the stars we return from now until the end of time He he, I've just posted about my dad's op then I saw your post, glad yours was successful too! It's quite amazing the difference it seems to make.

It's wonderful to hear good news. > Doing this in one fell swoop!: > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > cataract surgery is the one to have, LOL! > Lily's mama, Lydia See? We told ya' it wasn't that big a deal. And you'll be amazed at the vision improvement. However, please DO pay attention to the doc's instruction about bending and/or lifting for a few weeks. I understand that either activity can cause retinal detachment (and corresponding vision loss) -- *not* a good thing! Glad to hear it came out OK.
