The process is a little different when they use the laser to break up the old lens.
You're wide awake for the laser part. Doc is telling you when it's coming and not to move.
They do give you a happy pill and all kinds of drops in the eye. When he put that tool that holds the lids back it was a little unnerving but I didn't give a chit. Good pill.
After the laser they roll you to another room to finish up. Got the joy juice in the arm then and completely out.
The folks working in there were all business no chit chat. The surgeon was like a machine himself, he questioned the help like it was a preflight.

Glad you're doing well Rocky.
