Will do

I think she's been packed off to bed as the drugs have made her giddy (more so than usual) so I'll give her a ring tomorrow before she gets home and reads this and I get into a whole load of trouble.

Well she's out of surgery, all went well and she's got a fetching white eye patch now. I did suggest she get a piglet or pooh patch to cheer her up but it didn't go down too well :twisted: She's in overnight and home tomorrow I think and then hopefully a slow but definite journey to better sight in ...

Becky's in the hospital now and scheduled for around 2pm this afternoon. She's been fed tea and toast in bed and reckons she could get used to it so she's doing well! I'll update when I phone the ward later today. Fingers crossed.

Still, I'll sort it out Friday evening and get her to say Hi. She will be able to tell you more ab...

Thanks for you reply :) Yes it's just the one eye thankfully, her other sunglasses she lost were handed in luckily - they are category 4 I think. Driving isn't an issue as she doesn't drive, it's just a case of blocking out as much light as possible. She's off to boots to pick up her drops today so ...

Ah okay, I believe she is on pair #2 of them after a mishap with the first pair - she said they helped a lot with keeping the nasty light out. I think she managed to open her eye yesterday morning for the first time in a while, so the lure of shopping must be doing her some good, if only mentally. T...
