Then they moved me to a room for about 10 minutes to prepare me for the Ludovico treatment ... uh, surgery. 
I received some anesthesia, but not enough to put me under (the eye drops deaden the eye). I was aware of everything during the surgery, but I'm not sure exactly when they took the lens out and replaced it. Then I waited about 5 minutes while they unhooked everything and put a clear shield over my eye. Then they gave me Sprite and Ritz crackers with peanut butter and a few pills and a sheet of instructions and sent me on my way. I was there about 3 hours.
I had to return to the doctor's office later in the day for a check up (and to pay him). |
That was my experience too except for that part where the keep asking me if I've traveled to West Africa, or been in contact with anyone who has.
