Versed dreams
Last time, when I had the first cataract removed the versed being administered made my arm burn unhappily for kind of a long time and I lay there aware the entire time as they fixed my eye. I could have moved. I didn't want to move. It was unpleasant enough that the first thing I did after finishing the operation was put off the next one, which had been scheduled for two weeks later, until I really REALLY had to do it.
This time was completely different. As I've always suspected, the IV was blown the last time. This time I went to a Happy Place and the operation was over before I realized he'd started. Then I came home (thank you, froggoddess !) and went to sleep for a four hour nap. This differs a LOT from last time, when I just felt sort of mellow all day. It's almost time to walk for my son and I'm not sure I'm up for the job today.
The eye hasn't completely finished deblurrying, but so far I'm pretty happy with it. It's definitely modified monovision, which is what I asked for. It appears to be slightly - but not too much - off from what I'd been using with my contacts for the past year, so I have the sort of head-ache you get when you've just changed glasses prescriptions. Or maybe the sort of head-ache you get after you've just been clobbered over the head with a bunch of narcotics. I don't know.
My answering machine is blinking. There's a message from my Very Most Scary client on it. The versed is NOT reducing the anxiety about THAT, but I am resolved that I'm taking the day off of work so I'm ignoring it.
I think I might go back to sleep soon.
