The surgery went well. Here's what's next:
- I wear a much smaller patch (lead-free) until Wednesday morning
- Starting Wednesday, I begin using drops:
- Dilating drops nightly (to ease pressure)
- Antibiotic drops 4x daily
- I fly home to Madison Thursday evening
- I begin being able to see well sometime next week ish
- I can drive again in one week
- I can lift 25+ pounds, resume strenuous activity, etc. in two weeks
- The stitches in my eye dissolve in the next 4 weeks, at which point my eye will begin looking better (less red / swollen)
- I see my referring physician for follow-up examination etc. in 2 months and 4 months
- I get results of genetic testing (to determine likelihood of metastasis) in 8-12 weeks
So that's it! More details on all of this (hopefully including photos!) in the coming days and weeks.
Hooray!!!!!! Congratulations on no longer being irradiated!
