Update

It's been a long day!! Went back to the doc today. Appointment for 12:30, didn't leave till 3:00!! I'm so glad that I didn't work Sunday night or I would be a total zombie!!!
Things are looking good with Pat's eye, he still has some gas in between the lens implant and his cornea creating a lot of pain but his pressure has decreased to 18. Much improved!!
We see him again on Thursday and hopefully will be able to lessen the drops from 4 times a day then!! Poor Pat has to stay in the recliner for a while, we've tried getting him to lay face down but its still too much throbbing for him to tolerate. We have to keep his eye relaxed and dilated and this also dilates his blood vessels around his eye making it painful to lay in such a way. He's hanging in there!!
I might get him massage package somewhere because he is so tense in his neck and back from 24/7 in the recliner. If anyone has any suggestions let me know!!! thanks!!
