Yesterday, I had surgery on my left eye. This was not planned. I thought I was going to have my routine visit with my cornea specialist. Well, my eyes have not improved and there was some scarring started. My doctor said I need to have amniotic membranes sewn over my cornea to help it heal, so I had eye surgery. It wasn't too bad except for the fact that I can feel my sutures and my eye is really itchy! Tyler and Garrett loved my eye patch. I told them mommy was now a pirate. They just laughed at me. It was a good thing my dad drove over to Missoula with Garrett and me since I was unable to drive after the surgery (I had a touch of versed in my IV to help me relax.) Today I was able to take the eye patch off, but I am going to sleep with it so I do not accidentally rub my eyes while I am sleeping.
