EYE DROPS!

Anyone might tell you that their doctor gave them such and such drops prior to cataract surgery and such and such after the surgery too and all do as far as I know, since this is my second time going through this.

Although, my previous experience was totally different, as most people will tell you too. For me it was with two different doctors/surgeons in two different counties.

I was almost elated to know that the caviar priced teensy bottle of Besivance, an antibiotic the first on the left in the above PIC, would be used until done, with no need to for refills as of yet. At seventy bucks a pop that was more than refreshing to know and that was with my insurance, otherwise it would be $150! (three times a day till done/gone)

Durezol right next to it is a steroid medication and also was quite expensive, but the first one was a sample with a gift card worth $160 bucks the doctor's office gave to me, even so it was thirty-five bucks, otherwise $125, for another teensy weensy amount too! (three times a day for proper healing, instructions: do not stop!)

The Travatan is to prevent pressure in the eye and is used one time a day at bedtime. I was given a sample; so far no more was expected to be used after this is gone/done.

The other two are non prescription over the counter drops for dry eye and can be used whenever I want or need to, and the larger bottle was mine to begin with, the Blink and the other was one of two samples from the doctor's office.

Anyone who takes medication as much or even a little sometimes suffers from dry eye issues. And I have had doctor's try all sorts of methods to help mine, but the drops seem to be the one thing that does work when I remember to use them.

My eye is still as red and raw as last night's picture of it and I didn't feel it necessary to show you that again. 
And yes my eye is still sore, but my eyesight is still amazingly TERRIFIC!!!!!
Patience has never been my strong suite, but I have no choice,and I wouldn't have not done this even with the pain I am experiencing. This doctor Klein is too good to be true, he accepts phone calls 24/7, and his tech, Jill, attested to that! With saying as I always say that there are no stupid questions ever.


But I some how feel that I don't want to take advantage of this too good to be true doc, been there done that... you all know me!

So any-who, I have resigned myself to a singular capsule of 500mg. of Tylenol when absolutely necessary. The directions say to take two.

On that note of time will be on my side this time, I truly feel...and so allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and all of you to kindly count all your blessings and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear!
