It did go well. My eye is still a bit milky this morning, but it's improving. No discomfort at all. Have my post-op check later today, then a vision check in a week. I made the anesthesiologist laugh. He announced that he had started the drip and a few seconds later, I confirmed that he had reached "One martini."
One thing irked me. Halfway through the procedure, the nurses started talking about their resumes and related stuff. I finally said "Can we cut the chit-chat and do our jobs?" The doctor didn't say anything right then but I suspect he may have later I was wheeled out. I thought it was unprofessional and lax. If he brings it up again today, that's what I'm going to tell him.
During a recent colonoscopy, it didn't bother me at all that the nurses and doctor talked about things unrelated to my wrinkled old butt! When I had my eyes done, the whole procedure was accomplished so quickly, once the doctor picked up the instrument, there was no time for much of a conversation though we talked about shooting a bit.
