Weekly Deals and Surgery

I had cataract surgery yesterday on my right eye. Guess I was spoiled by the cataract surgery I had done on my left eye a couple of weeks ago. The surgery went fine and I was feeling fine until about lunch time. I think I was trying to use my eye too much too early although they tell you it is ok to read, watch tv, be on the computer, etc. My eye hurt most of the day - just scratchy and watering a lot - so I spent most of the day laying on the couch. I also had another funny reaction. When I got home from the hospital and doctor's office (had to go there right after surgery for them to check it with their equipment), I poured a glass of the flavored water that I drink. I noticed it tasted odd - kind of flat - but didn't think much about it. Later I fixed a glass of Diet Coke. UGG! It tasted awful so I poured it out. It was from a new case that I had just opened up and we had bought on sale a few months ago so I just thought it had gone bad. So, I tried a second can - same thing - down the drain it went. Then I decided to try a Cherry Coke that I had in the fridge (not from that other case) and it was awful too. That's when I decided to give Ashley a call and see if she had any insight into the matter. She told me that sometimes anesthesia has that effect on people - giving things a metallic taste. At dinner time, I tried the coke again. It wasn't as bad but I could really taste the metallic flavor that time. A nurse from the hospital called this morning to check on me and when I told her, I got the feeling she had never heard that. So far this morning, I am ok. I've had two cups of Spiced Tea that my good friend made for me and it has been good. My eye is a little scratchy but nothing like yesterday. Hopefully, I am on the road to recovery now. I have things to do and no time to lay around on the couch all day!!
