Partial corneal transplant on Monday went well, and I have the expected bag of drops. The surgery took about an hour and there was an hour wait afterward for a final check to be sure the new cornea was attached. And then I went home.
Tuesday morning's appointment found the cornea attached but the pressure a little high. So, another drop.
Wednesday I could be up and about, no longer needing to stay flat on my back except for 5 minutes up each hour.
Today, Thursday, the new drop has done its job and the pressure is back down, cornea is still attached. Next visit is in a week
I can now use my laptop in a seated position, just no bending over or lifting over 5 pounds.
Vision is blurry, not back to where it was, but that's to be expected with the gas bubble that holds the cornea in place and with the dilating drop. There has never been any pain except for a few minutes immediately after the surgery.
And so, we continue on.
