Thank you.

I am so pleased with the outcome, i hope it continues to heal as well for the next 12 months.........
I am supposed to have some stitches out in 2 weeks and have hydrops in the other eye so i am not sure how that will all turn out. ???

At least, if they want to graft eye#2 once your hydrops has gone away, you have the encouragement of a good experience with # 1.

All the best.
