Oooh eyes are scary. I wish you all the best, Bryster. I'll have to have an op in about another year, but that's for cataracts. They are pretty god at eyes these days so it shouldn't be a problem, for you or me.
Best of luck.

best of luck Chris and rest easy - I had my tonsils out last thursday on the NHS (yeah I know 38 and getting my tonsils taken out - a slow developer ) everything went well, and to be honest the staff and the hospital were great. In at 7am, op at 11:30am, home at 7pm....
Don't ask me to sing at the moment though :).

Anything involving the combination of the words "surgery" and "eyes" scare me shitless. But fortunatly they´re pretty good with eye surgery these days.
And think positive. Once this is over, you don´t have to worry about the make-up getting all screwed up anymore. :biggrin:
Best wishes.

electroglyph!! The man is facing mildly serious eye surgery and all you can think of is having a romp with a 600 pound woman?!?!....Hey....now that I think about it.....hummmmmmm......will she be wearing a skimpy bikini and holding a whip? Anyways, Bryster, wishing you all the best and hoping you are back soon to guard us against all those heretics.....Hey!!....is that one now trying to get in the back door....Out, out, damn heretic I say!!
THAT F***ING HURT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They stick needles in you and stuff......................................
Yeah, I'm back. Christ! I wouldn't go through that again if my comfy chair depended on it.
Like I said, the tubes that drain away your tears....wait for it!......lachrymal ducts....were blocked and I looked like I was weeping. Real PIA!
So they strap you to a not-so-comfy chair, with all the regular life-support sensors and tilt you almost upside-down. They wrap your head in towels, swab you with iodine and stab your eyelids with local so-called aneathestic that doesn't work.
Then you have a marlin spike jammed into your tear-ducts to open them up and have saline solution poured down them until you feel it run down the back of your throat and into your ear canals.
Now for the joyful part.................the Doc uses these micro snips to put three cuts around the opening of the ducts.....and sez something like "Are we having fun yet?"
Between screams I tell him he's so not on my christmas card list.
By now of course I can't see, I can't open my eyes, all I want to do is scratch my eyeballs and I'm drowning in my own lachrymal fluid. And all the time this really hot nurse is whispering into my earhole things like, "Vue is better than Bryce. Wings3D is a wonderful proggy. Don't you just love Cinema3D?......"
Now my other medical problems kick in and I can't get out of the chair when they sadly declare that my torture is over. So they just unplug the chair from the life-support stuff and wheel me back into the recovery room.
Now in an upright position four different nurses, an aneathetist and the Doc ask me if I'm ok and would I like a cup of tea and a sandwich..................
Graphic enough for you or would you like to hear about the blood and stuff..................?
The good news is that the proceedure worked!!! My eyesight is a lot clearer now and I'm nolonger soaking my shirt collars with tears.
They tell me the black-eyes will fade in a couple of days. I look like I went 2 rounds with Tyson.
Thanks for all the good wishes and the perverted suggestions. You guys are just great!
BTW The Doc is a 3d nut who has Renders all over the walls. Strangly enough, they look like they were done in Bryce 4.

Hey Bryster....good thing your doc was a Bryce man and not one of those heretics running loose. But.....what if he wasn't a Bryce user? what if he uses Vue on a regular bases....or worse yet....Wings 3d every day after work!!?? What if he knows you hate non Bryce using heretics just like him? What if he was taking his revenge out on you by making an otherwise painless procedure one of pure hell just for you?? Something to think about, hey! But on the good side....glad to hear that all ended well and that your sight is better.
better you than me, by the time they got to the micro snips i would have hit some poor sod between the legs.
I have had two operations on my eyes, one was when i was young and it was the first operation to be done in the uk on someone so young(i was 3). My left eye was so turned in so far that all you could see was the white of the eye ball and i had to wear an eye patch to protect the eye. wont go into details of the operation but it included cutting nerves and muscles.
Second one i had was to remove a cyst(sc) i had on the eye lid, even then they had to knock me out cause i don't like anything near my eyes.
They can operate on anything else on me, yes including the family jewels but my eyes are a place i don't like even thinking about being operated on..
Glad things went ok for you Bryser..
I have opinions of my own -- strong
opinions -- but I don't always agree with them.
Aaaawwwwwwwwwwhhhhhhhh! Noooooooooooooooo, don't tell me any more! I can't take it!
How you stood it... (shudder)
Thank goodness it worked, is all I can say.

Well today I woke up with gummy eyes, but it washed away easily enough. The bruising isn't as bad as it was and my eyesight isn't being fogged by all the fluid. I still want to wipe my eyes but there is nothing to wipe away, so, good result all round.
I have a check up in 2 weeks but I'm chuffed with it so far.
In all seriousness I have to say that the guys and gals at the Day Surgery Unit were absolutely brilliant. They took on my non-related problems like my deafness and mobility restrictions and worked around them like I was the most important person they knew and made absolutely certain that everyone knew about my alergies which if ignored could become dangerous...for me!.
The British National Health Service comes in for a lot of stick, but the treatment I received at Bronglais Hospital, Aberystwyth, was first class in all aspects at the brand new DSU.
I just hope I don't have to go back there.....
Thank you all again for your kind wishes. Don't ya just love this forum?

Well, sorry I’m late here but I’m happy that things are over with and the pain is over and all that’s left is a little discomfort besides the gooey eyes…Got cornflakes in your eyes? Hope all is well and that soon you’ll be creating better Bryce images than before now that you can see all your errors…that’s a joke! Hope all is well with you!
OK now that your up and about it's time to test your sensibilities:
What year is it?
Who played Buckaroo Bonzaii?
How many Brycers does it take to render a light bulb?
Well, glad to see your recovered from the operation even if you didn't get the Peter Weller question right. Sorry you had to go through it all .... but if it worked ....!!!
*What year is it?
*2037
*Who played Buckaroo Bonzaii?
*This is a musical instrument, right?
*How many Brycers does it take to render a light bulb?
*What's a light bulb?
Thanks for all the comments! :thumbupboth:

Well I'm off to hospital tomorrow (wed 21) to have an operation on my eyes. Judging by the stuff I've been doing in Bryce I probably need it. Don't know how long or when I'll be out but it's only in the Day Surgery Unit so I should be all done by tea-time.
It seems that the tubes that drain fluid away from my eyes are blocked and need opening up. ATM I look like I'm crying all the time - good job I don't wear make-up!
I could use a well-wish or two. The last time I was in hospital was to see my M.I.L pass away.
Thanks
The Bryster
