It was a painful experience for me. I went in at about 2pm. Lied on the bed for about an hour before my doctor attended to me. She told me the whole procedure was very short, but it seemed so long to me. As I was lying there, I kept calling out for God to hold my hand. I was sure He was there. Hence I carried on in peace. I remembered the doctor dripping a few numbing eye drops before carrying on with the whole thing.
1st she put a wire to keep my eyes open at all times, and then she took out a small blade and started scrapping off some stuff of my cornea. I couldn't feel anything, but I could see some stuff clustering at the tip of my eyes as she scrapped. At that time I knew that it would definitely hurt after this numbing thing is gone. After that, they proceeded to push me into another room to put eye drops. Now my eyes couldn't feel anything, but it was like torture. It was required that they put this yellow eye drop into my eye every 2 minutes for 30 mins. At this pt in time my eyes were sort of "dead" and I couldn't really open my eyes, and they kept making me open my eyes every 2 mins to put the drop. It was so frustrating.
Next, they pushed me into another room to carry on with this thing. They shone this UV light straight into my eyes for another 30 mins. Well of course they put the wire to keep my eyes open. It was crazy looking at it for 30 mins. It didn't help that my back was hurting like crazy at that time. After everything, it was about 5.30 and they pushed me out. I couldn't feel anything with my eyes, not at that moment though, and I thought it was going to be alright. When I went home, the pain came. I couldn't take it, ate 2 panadols and went to sleep straight away. It wasn't that bad today.
All in all, I want to thank God for seeing me through this whole thing. I worried for nothing. Also are the people whose messages before everything encouraged me. =) Thanks to Megan, Elisabeth, Yongzhi, Kenneth, Damien, Megan's mum. I appreciate it. =)
