It's been 3 weeks since surgery and I've been home 2 weeks today. Every day gets a little easier but my vision is still bothering me when I try to read or write. They can't get my INR where they want it. It's still at a 1 after doubling my... Read more.

I just wanted to add that my surgeon is awesome. The complcations I had was nothing to do with his skills or ability. Mine was a hard case because of my past health problems and this is a first for him in the 30 years he's been doing this.

I pray you get 100 percent of your vision back and all that has happened will be a distant memory at some point when you are fully recovered. That surely was something that none of us could see coming after surgery. Glad you are home. I pray for a very... Read more.
