All the best.

Re: Back to the operating table
You really have had far more than your fair share of problems! And it must be so frustrating to feel that you're no further forward than when it all began. But as Andrew says, what's now being proposed sounds positive, and I'm sure you'll get there in the end. All the very best, and more in the PM I'm sending you.

Operation is on 15th december. Just made a big mistake of looking at a cornea graft and amniotic membrane graft on youtube.

Fortunately you won't be watching your own! All the very best for 15th - you'll be in all our thoughts.

Yes, all the best from our house too. Youtube is great but maybe not just before surgery

Re: Back to the operating table
I watched that too.
I can watch the standard PK ops but the membrane one i had to switch off.
Good luck for the 15th.

Re: Back to the operating table
Thanks
I am actually more concerned about this one than last time. i think it's because I know what happens and what it is like and I am worried in case I move whilst he is operating and cause him to puncture my eye or something like that.

Re: Back to the operating table
If you are worried about that, it might be worth asking for some kind of sedative.
