2nd cataract surgery

I had my second cataract surgery on Monday.   Sadly, I had a new nurse attempt to put in the IV for the sedative (no sleeping, just the “I don’t care” variety).  I yelped when she went way too deep!  Due to the fact that I had had chemo, someone produced this VEIN LOCATOR!  The experienced nurse said it was actually used for arms.  She didn’t need it, I think she was a “vein whisperer” and I felt a quick poke in the back of my hand and that was it.  I had thought my veins would have returned to “normal” by now.  Maybe they will never be good veins again. 

I’m glad my eyes are done though.  I took Bertha in before my surgery to get some work done and get her summer tires on so I haven’t been out driving yet.  Itching to get behind the wheel.
