Question for graftees - our old eyes

[Andrew MacLean]

I am afraid it just takes the time that it takes. All the best.

Thoughts of any actual ceremony not got any further. Well, really, the whole issue is still "pending".
My eyes were both pretty much of a muchness - so the one that got cut out and thrown away was not particularly worse than the one that is still there and doing its stuff as hard as it can (and suffering from overwork). I could have changed my mind about which one to do, right up to start of op.
DOes it make a difference to what I feel about the bit of my own eye that I wholehearted regret having the op at all? - no, probably not, to be honest; I was already thinking about the bit to be cut out from before the appointment where I booked in for the op, long before any inkling of anything going pear-shaped.
Please don't think I don't care about the donor/family and friends. I've read many threads on this site about donors and how graftees feel about donors; don't think I can really add much to that collection of wisdom and experience.
SOrry if anyone thinks this is odd.
Just how it takes some of us, I guess.
Surprised to be the only one, somehow - I was told at the booking-appt that some people do ask to see/keep the excised bit, so I can't be the only one in the world; maybe the ohters just don't get here.
