Today is the day I had cataract surgery on my left eye.
Anticipation may have been used to sell ketchup, but I guess it's what kept me from having a good sleep last night.
Nothing to eat or drink after midnight, check in at the hospital at 10:50, surgery at 12:20, discharged about 1:30, then off to get something to eat, and back at the clinic at 4 to check on the eye.
Home about 4:45, drops in the eye and rest for an hour, and here I am with blurry left eye.

It took about 5 hours for you to have cataract surgery.Time at the hospital must have seemed to drag.Happily surgery went well !

Well, I was mildly sedated, so I really didn't care.

I think it will, as the song says, "getting better all the time".

@BarBaraPrz That's a good song. And, you're right. It fits.

Not at all, just felt as if I had something in my eye, but it was still "frozen" for several hours.

Thanks. My pupil is still half-blown at 9:55 next day.

I hope it all heals very quickly. I know it isn't fun. Take good care.
