Re: Eyes
To Keith Tindell who now is. Getting ready for tomorrow. Keith make sure you get the appropriate size
Operation gown which can be very revealable and may be embarrassing for some. And enjoy your tea and biscuits afterwards. I took the patch off at home this morning and had to go back for a final check by the doctor for signing off for now. Have eyedrops for the next month and then hopefully. Get the second eye done. So will be walking with a list until both the same. Good luck for tomorrow. JS

Make sure it's not the Kama Sutra, or the Suez edition of Lady Chatterley's Lover, don't want your eyes popping out, or anything else for that matter!!
Good Luck, all will be well

Very brave man as he lost his wife 3 years ago with the big C. His eyes are fine though he says.
Now come on Victoria, just admit it was the eye shadow you were adjusting. LOL

Re: Eyes
John you like so many of us are from the tough brigade.
You will survive this and come out the other side smiling big time.
Just hang in there for now, all will be well.
