Another Procedure

I seem to spend all my time getting medical procedures. I don't think I asked for this. I just seem to keep needing them. Today I go to have my tear ducts cauterized. I don't like messing with my eyes or having anyone else mess with them. In fact I don't like messing with other people's eyes. When I used to work in pre-op getting the cataract surgeries ready I kept my eyes closed as much as possible. Dealing with eyes just makes my innards scream. So needless to say I am a wreck. Big time wreck. The husband is taking me. I tried to drown my fears in wine last night but the husband and second son gave me the riot act. I went to bed early and read knitting magazines and Hercule Poirot. That is a good distraction. The doctor told me after he inserted the plugs to be sure and get someone to bring me for the cauterization. That my eyes would swell and be painful after the numbing wore off. I have never had a doctor say the word pain. Their favorite line is " It will be a little uncomfortable". So I am not looking forward to the numbing medicine to wear off. In fact I am not looking forward to anything about today.
