patchless

by Adam

Karyn's doctor visit today went well: The patch came off and she can see with her left eye.  It's not perfect, but it wasn't supposed to be because, well, she's just had surgery on it.  It hurts, but that's reasonable since she has stitches in her eyeball again.  Mostly she rests, listens to audiobooks and watches a little bit of t.v.  She's in good spirits overall, all things considered.

Most importantly, the eye has pressure (so she can use it), but not too much -- 6 mm Hg, in case you were wondering -- really very low, but not as low as the "zero" she's been measuring since they last took out a stitch.  And, that's a good pressure to start from as things start to heal.  On Thursday she goes back to the doctor to check things again.

In case you were wondering, my eyes are just fine.  My nerves less so, but getting better.  Tomorrow I'll teach a class for the first time since Thursday, training the ophthalmologists of tomorrow.
