Cataract Surgery #2

Three weeks after the first, getting the second one done.
Since there was a lot of srcatchiness and wateriness in the eye after the first surgery, I decided to try a "block" in the second eye.  In this approach, they inject a local anesthetic that deadens the area all around the eye, preventing the eye muscles from moving the eyeball.  Then I would go home with a patch on the eye and wear it until the next day.  This "should" make the initial 24 hours more comfortable.
The surgerystarted early inthe day and went about the same as the other, but I was a lot more relaxed since I had less feeling than the last time.  At my request, he explained each step as he went through the process.  Due to the mild dose of Versed in my drip, I have spotty recollection of the whole process.
Immediately afterwards, I was a lot more comfortable since my eye was still numb and I had the patch on.  However, after a few hours, the numbness wore of gradually and the patch proved to be somewhat of a nuisance.  My eye was opening and moving under the patch.  It wasn't painful at all, just aggravating.   But I stuck it out until the next day.
The checkup on the next morning went well - so far it was looking good!
