Just an update for those of you checking in: Karyn is home from her surgery and is doing well. She got a different dose of anesthesia and came out feeling much better than she did last time. (Same anesthesiologist that Grace had about a year ago -- a very nice man with a good gauge for the right amounts and kinds of stuff.) The doctor said she did great and that the "bleb repair" he did went exactly as planned. Karyn asked how he was doing this morning, and he was happy to report that he'd had a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast of eggs and toast.
Now she's home and in bed, dazed but basically in good spirits, all things considered. She has a patch (again) on her left (duh) eye and she will see the doctor again tomorrow morning to have the patch removed and basically start over with healing. The good news is that we know a little bit more about how this goes.
[Also, in case you think that the term "bleb" is some kind of slang or stuff I'm just making up, you can verify for yourself that it's really a medical term. If it's on Wikipedia, it must be real, right?]

So glad things went well.
I love that "bleb" is a real word (at least according to Wikipedia). Sounds totally fake.
Ughh... I feel bad, especially for Karyn, that you all have to go through this roller coaster ride again. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Get well soon, Karyn!
I am glad that it went so well. Sending lots of love and healthy eyeball vibes. Jara
Yeay. This time will be easier I'm sure. Sending hugs and love. I'm sure you'll be back to your old Mii in no time!! :)
LOVE YOU!!!!! (and Adam and Anna and Grace too)
