Thank you to my friends who gave me such encouraging messages for the forthcoming cataract operation booked for early December. I have just read the risks associated with it!! You know nurses can be the worse patients, probably because they've seen it all to do with operations, recovery etc. I will be brave, but at the time of my finals I had nothing to do with eyes as I didn't like the thought of anything involving such a delicate part of the anatomy. Funny how my first nursing post as an R.G.N.in a busy Accident and emergency department saw me assisting in many an operation to remove a foreign body in the eye. Many a grown man was to waver following the removal of said foreign body, with a magnificent fall to the floor after the offending item had been removed.
