Surgery-Shmurgery

I had my cataract surgery in my right eye today, and boys and girls, I must say that I was in total denial about how much it was going to hurt and how intense it was going to be. When everyone tells you "Oh, it's not big deal! It's an easy surgery! I could see 5 minutes after the surgery!" they are LYING. Or else they have absolutely NO nerve endings in their eyeballs.

But I had so many people say it was such a piece of cake I skipped blithely to the gallows, all unawares!

Because I felt every single slice, dice, gouge, gash, pulverizing, pummel, punching, pushing, suction, tugging, pinching, squeezing, inserting, implanting, suturing, sewing and taping.
