Thanks for reply ,im sure all will be fine. Just had bit of a blip. ! And if hubby says again "where we going to park ? " he,ll be the one needing eye surgery. !!

Quite right to have a bit of a winge Sue...express yourself, that's what I say! 7.30am is pretty darn early after all though I reckon you'll get up and do all you need to do even if it is on auto pilot.

You'll be glad when tomorrow is over and done with so for now sending you warmest wishes.

Let us know how you got on...Lovelight xx

Oh how I love your grandson - you can always rely on kids for logic - I will remember I am not in a shopping centre next time they 'get me' - it will make me giggle if nothing else.

I think ur being very brave to go through with ur op,I was born with congenital cataracts and now starting to lose my sight because Im too scared to have it done under local anaesthetic

Goodness me thafs tough. ! They told me you cant feel or see anything ,but we,ve all heard that before. !!!! You got respiratory problems too. ?

Yes I have asthma ,had it for yrs,and suffer from anxiety too,iv asked them in the past if they will do it under general anaesthetic but they won't do it,my dad had glaucoma ,but never had an op,but that was a long time ago,I wish u all the best for tomorrow,when u feel up to it will u let me know how u got on ,I would really appreciate it if u would xxxx

Hi Sue 48, good luck with the op and do tell us how you get on. My husband has early stage glaucoma and he is eye phobic. I am really worried that when the time comes for the op he will be terrified and not go. Hope all goes well for you. Take care Maximonkey
