Eye

 My eye injection was unpleasant but not painful 
I asked the nurse if a colleague could hold my head still and she complied with suitable force
( she could have wrestled a pig)
The only thing that went wrong
Is…..
They used permanent marker to dot above the eye to be injected 
I did see the funny side

    As a former surgery nurse, it is so very, very important to have the patient mark (or nurse mark with patient pointing) the planned surgical side when there are bilateral sites like eyes, ears, arms, legs or multiples like fingers or toes. No mistake that way. Nobody wants that kind of mistake!
    I'm glad this injection is over with, no pain, and that someone helped you keep still.

    Big hugs!

  2. Well, think of it as a beauty spot rather than a war wound! At least there wasn't a big, red arrow as well. Glad there was no pain and no bloodshot eye this time. Time to rest and recuperate. xx

  4. Any surgical procedure requires permanent marker locators. After cataract surgery it's usually gone due to the surgical prep. It washes off. Face cloth and warm water. Does the trick

  6. Good! I think we've all been worried. At least I have. Or not worried, really, just thinking about you, wanting it to be over for you.

  8. I thought beauty spot too. You might just become an instagram worthy trendsetter. It will be interesting to see how many people notice and which ones mention it and which ones pretend it's not there. I would have fun with it.

  9. Strong nurse. Strong medicine. Strong ink! Maybe a conversation starter.
