I assumed that, as the surgeon would be waiting for my return before beginning surgery, the scan would be done immediately. I was wrong! I had to wait for all the others (outpatients) in the waiting room.

All of the staff were very caring and efficient, and I would recommend the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital to anyone.

I have been asked to return for review tomorrow at 9am. Rather more civilised an hour than today's 7.30am!

We were lucky, living only a few miles from the hospital. Another patient in the next cubicle (and within close listening distance!) came from Cumberland and she was slightly dismayed to learn the same thing. It would take her at least a couple of hours to make the journey tomorrow.
We're glad to have you back so soon JBR. Hope tomorrow goes as well for you too.

I am certainly doing that.

Marge is insisting on running around after me and doing everything.

Not wishing to upset her, I am complying with her every wish.
