Much Better

Eye surgery went much better this time. I had a conversation with the anesthesiologist before time, and he was shocked to hear I wasn't numb for the last surgery. He thought I was exaggerating my sensitivity. I said, "Haven't you seen my rap sheet?" He said I'd been given Fentanyl, and I told him that won't work on me, and I could have told him that. so he promised to keep an eye out for me.

So they roll me into surgery and hook me up, and the nurse anesthetist says, "That'll relax you." and I said, "When?" She said, "You mean you don't feel that?" I said, "Nope."

She clearly doesn't believe me. With that, the nurse does the "tape the eye open" thing and I give a grimace and a groan. She said, "Did that hurt?" I said, "Yes, and the light is really painful!"

That's the last thing I remember! Yup. Surgery went off without a hitch. What a difference! No pain! Well, it's only one day out, and there's some inflammation, but no outright stabbing pain like my eyelids are slicing my eyeball.

I have a new computer. The last one, only four years old, just wouldn't stay up. It kept dumping me and rebooting itself. I'm busy reloading my programs and putting together a choir video for church. It's so hard to align all those individual vid clips so it looks like they're singing together. It's especially tough when the singers themselves can't sing their parts along with the accompaniment. They come in late, cut their recording short, film themselves from the nose down ... all kinds of fun. But it's coming along slowly.
