My team was so courteous and explained everything they were doing and why. Made me feel at ease and not so anxious.I remember talking to Dr. Ferguson in surgery and wanting to see his face, so after the procedure , he came around so I could see him.
Thank you to all my pre-op and surgical team.
See you again on Dec.15 th for right eye. I hope I get the same team.
