Post Op Follow Up
Today was Tricia's post op follow up for the second operation (on the same eye).
Tricia happens to be in alot of pain. More so then the last time.
The Dr. said the bandage might not have been on tight enough (we did see it lift off) and subsequently may have scratched her cornea when she opened the eye.
The eye was numb at the time so she would not have felt it until the medicine wore off.
(which is what seems to have happened).
So for the next few days she will litterally have to sit there with her eyes closed to avoid the pain.
The Dr. prescribed some drops and recommended an over the counter product called Genteal. It's in a tube and a thick forumula for tears. Tricia said it is very soothing.
Overall the Dr. said the operation was successful and there was no internal bleeding in the eye.
There was however, some surface bleeding when the tool was removed from the eye.
So on first look her eye is all bloodshot. Most importantly is the success of the re-attachment an d no internal bleeding. We'll see how next weeks post op follow up comes out.
I am forwarding all notes and well wishes. She loves hearing from y'all. Thanks.
