Eleanor and I have both completed our procedures for the day and are both confined to home for the remainder of the day. She had a cataract removed from her left eye and seems to be doing well - so far her vision is still blurred as expected and she has these nice big shades she must wear when she goes out. She was aware all during the process and even got play-by-play description. She will have a checkup tomorrow.
I had a lung biopsy via a needle through the back with ct scan taking place throughout the process. I was aware though out the process but thankfully did not get play-by-play. They did share some info during like 'we're almost finished' which were appreciated. The only discomfort was having to lay on my stomach with my head turned to the side without moving for approx. 40 min. - my neck hurt. All was well once I was allowed to change positions and get up. Overall, no biggie!
I hopefully get results on Mon.
We both plan to just relax the rest of the afternoon.
Elanore, I'm with you. I like to hear play by play also. Glad to hear you're doing fine. Jim, glad to hear you're ok too. It is a pain sitting still for that long. I can't understand why you didn't want to hear all the details!
ReplyDeleteRelax and enjoy your recuperating.
Glad things went well for both of you - not exactly the kind of day one wants to have on their schedule but at least things went smoothly. The glasses can just make her feel like a movie star! Just take the time to relax and recuperate from it all - we will keep the prayers going that a good report comes on Monday and that Eleanor's vision improves quickly. Thanks be to God for good doctors (and patients!) Take care
