Today's the day

*****Update****** For all those who prayed... thank you very much!  The surgery went well.  I head back to the doctor tomorrow for another check.  Hopefully all will look good.  I can't see much of anything right now, so please bear with me if there are typos :)  As for the meds during surgery.... same as last time.  I remember about 2  minutes of the whole experience.  Those meds are AWESOME!!!  Again, thank you for your prayers.  I hope to know soon how much this has impacted my vision.  Hopefully in a noticable way*********

This morning I am headed over to the Dr. office for my eye surgery.  Not real excited about it.  I guess I should be, but I'm not.  Hopefully I will be excited when it is over and maybe in a couple of days find that I can see so much better.  That woudl be the ultimate outcome.  If you are a praying person, please pray for that for me.  I feel as though God is going to bless me through this, even in a small way.  And though that may be small - to just make my sight a little bit better - in all actuality, it is HUGE for me.  I'm not looking for all of my sight back - just make the sight I have clear.  I pray I get that.

What I am NOT looking forward to, is the procedure.  I hate all things "eyeball".  Working on an eye creeps me out.  I think I said it before when I had my other eye worked on.  It's just creepy to me.  I don't want anyone touching my eye!!!  I was crazy enough to read up on the procedure and what they will be doing.  Well, ignorance would have been bliss, because now I know and I wish I didn't. 

The last time I had this surgery, I remembered NOTHING.  Well, I'll tell you what I remembered.  I was on a bed being wheeled into the surgical room.  They stopped at the door to open them.  I don't remember going in the doors, I don't remember the procedure.  The next thing I remember is being again on the other side of the surgical room doors, in the hallway.  It's STRANGE.  I do remember at one point in time, feeling someone touching my hand.  They held it for a long time.  I just remember my mind feeling that.  It's strange but the feeling was in my head and not on my hand.  I was apparently awake and talking during the entire procedure.  Who knows what I must have been saying.  If I was awake, I'm sure I wasn't saying "hey, this is cool that you are going to poke that thing into my eyeball".  I guess I'm glad I don't remember.  How they get that medication to work like that, I'm not sure.... but I'd like to have that again.

I'm a bit more nervous now because when I was scheduling the surgery they said that they are using different medications now and it would not be like last time.  NO!!!!  MAKE IT LIKE LAST TIME!!!!  I was having too many things run through my head to ask exactly which part would be different.  I hope the memory part will not be different.

Kent and Megan came over last night to pray with me about the surgery.  I thought that was very nice of them.  It is good to know that you have people praying with you.  It's also good to know I have such wonderful friends.

In Christ,
Charity
