Yep we were just bunged a load of boxes of eye drops in a big bag, given a list that just gave the name and dosage and not even told what they were for. I wasn't allowed on the ward so it was my husband who was given the stuff, if I'd been allowed there I'd have asked but he didn't and was told noth...

He's been very tired today. Been in bed resting asleep I just kept wakeing him to do the eye drops. I'm a bit annoyed because we weren't told how to administrate the drops or basically anything we were just given a big bag and a dosage list. Anyway I've read all the leaflets with the drops and now I...

He's home, lots and lots of different drops but not realy any instructions on when or how to give just dosage and mum er of times. My husband said nurses were putting some sort of drop in his, eye every 10 minutes . Just glad he's home. He's not allowed to do much for 2 weeks. Just rest. The recover...

Ta everyone. I just feel for him with all he's been put through he isn't old but neither is he a spring chicken he's 58 and this all kicked of on 21st July with the eye injury. He's still waiting for the Dr's to see him this morning, who knows when they come round. He had a rough night and his eye l...

He's had to have some drugs given intravenously, then he's had to have the pressure released by needles inserted manually into the eye. Finally the pressure is down and normal, now he's haveing some sort of drops put in his eyes every 10 minutes. He's staying overnight in hospital. None of this was ...

Update they've used a, lazer to put a tiny hole in his eye to release pressure now he's to lie on his stomach and they'll check him in a while.

On it rumbles I've said don't be blooming watching you tube yer dozy sod.... I think it's sinking in that he's to do as he's told.

He's still in hospital. The pressure in his eye is too high don't understand the numbers but 53 was mentioned. They gave him some pills but it's stll high and he's, waiting to see the consultant to find out what she wants to do. The only thing that has annoyed me is the fact none of the nurses expla...

Thankyou everyone Lots of useful tips. I've spoken to him and he's fine, he's been seen by the consultant this morning checking the graft and pressure ect. His next appointment is on Wednesday. The eye clinic gave me a list of numbers for emergency stuff ect so we're all sorted on that front. He's n...

He was in surgery 6 hours. They removed the detached lens and did the cornea transplant. He fingers x can come home tommorrow.

Been a long stressful day I just hope it's going to be worth it for him in the long run.

3.46 am not slept well. He goes into hospital today at 7 am. Be glad when it's done and he's home. They've booked a bed I case he's to stay in overnight. I just hope the operation goes ahead because they did say there's always a chance it could be cancelled.

Thanks for the support and information.
