Since he's the expert on that part of it. Will talk to the ophthalmologist about it some more, too, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. Right now, I don't even know when the other surgery is going to happen yet.

Those glaucoma tests suck, don't they? They keep doing the one on me where they numb your eye with drops and use an instrument that they put right on the cornea. I've gotten pretty used to it by now!
