Well, as of this morning, I’m 30 days away.  In the next 2 weeks, I’ll be getting a full physical from my family doctor to be sure that there are no issues with the surgery (I don’t expect any.)  I have began to notify my clients of a 2 week period of low productivity, and a full week out of the office.

I still feel overall excited, with a tinge of anxiety.   I only question the idea of the transplant when I have a “good day” with my semiscleral lens, like yesterday (11 hours of wear time, very little discomfort.)   But all I have to do is close my 20/20 right eye to see that I still have a problem.   I am also hoping for the DALK not to be converted to a PK – but I need to be ready for that.  The doctor said the DALK would be lifetime, with little chance of rejection, but it all depends on what he finds on the lower membranes.

Today, I have to go to the dentist – likely for a root canal.  I’m a nighttime grinder, and I’ve damaged some of my teeth.  I don’t want the teeth hurting or be on any conflicting pain medicines near the surgery, so getting it taken care of now.  Not looking forward to it – I hate going to the dentist
