Syrinx Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 People I know who have had cataract surgery done, can't believe the difference afterwards. Good luck Rhyta! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I know when my parents had theirs done, they came out with MUCH better vision. Make sure you are diligent with the drops before and after the surgery, that's really important. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants an eye infection, especially inside the eye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Rhyta, is your surgery still scheduled for the 27th?Yes it is coming up next week. Saturday have to start putting the eye drops in four times a day. Yay :eyeroll:But it will be worth it. What time is your procedure? Have been and will continue to be sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hubby is taking me so that will be nice to lean on him. Thanks Cat for your concern, good to have all the prayers I can get. :ebert: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cat 3 Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 Just wanted to let you know that I’m sending good thoughts and prayers for your procedure tomorrow... ...you’ll do great and I’m looking forward to you checking in with us when you are able. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueschica Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Hi Rhyta, sending positive energy that the procedure goes by quickly tomorrow and that you can start rapid healing! I will be thinking of you tomorrow. Take care; I hope your husband spoils you! :hi: Edited July 27, 2021 by blueschica 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Rhyta, I'm sure all will go well for you tomorrow. My brother had told us, after his cataract surgery, how bright and clear everything looked.Will be thinking of you! :hug2: 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted July 27, 2021 Author Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Thanks all, Believe it or not, earlier today my Doctor's assistant contacted me and said the surgery will have to be rescheduled for August 12th! This is getting ridiculous. Evidently the surgical center neglected to tell us that it wouldn't accept our insurance, that we were out of network. So another facility couldn't fit me in until August. It is very frustrating since I got all nervous and had started putting the eye drops in my eye to get ready for the procedure. Oh well. So that is why I am still up late typing this rather than in bed trying to sleep and not drinking any water after midnight. That's going to be hard to do when it is so hot, I am constantly drinking water. But that will have to wait a few more weeks. So once again, to be continued :blush: Edited July 27, 2021 by Rhyta 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurabw Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 Well that's just ridiculous! What a drag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbear05 Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 ...and that wasn't checked out BEFORE the surgery was even scheduled? Sorry, I call BS. The same crap happened to me just as I had finished my chemotherapy for Non-Hodgkins in '01. The clinic advised me my insurance would no longer cover anything, and I was advised to find a new oncologist that was covered. Which I did, making sure the oncologist accepted other carriers, as I switched carriers at the start of '02. Ftb! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhyta Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just a quick note, it was a very smooth process and I wasn't nervous once I got there. It only took a half hour and didn't hurt a bit. Going go rest and listen to an audiobook since I still have a patch over the eye. Cheers! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
