Surgery update

December 15th, 2006

Neal’s eye surgery happened today and I’m pleased to report that everything went well! The laser surgeon described the process as “spot welding” around the holes in his retina so that they do not lead to a retinal tear. Neal’s feeling pretty good, all things considered. His eyes will probably be dialated throughout the day tomorrow (which anyone who’s ever been dialated before can attest - is a total pain because you can’t do jack! No reading, no watching TV…just staring at the wall while wearing dark glasses). He also has a terrifically sore throat due to the tube they inserted in his throat while he was out. Other than that, his eyes are supposed to be back to near normal tomorrow - maybe a little scratchy-feeling. Laser surgery is pretty darn amazing.
