Boy, is my left eye still sore. Ended up not being done the scheduled day, because someone else was ahead of me in line, and they had some kind of acute problem which had to be done right that second, and which ended up taking quite a lot more time than they thought.
If you're going in for surgery, bring your phone, a charger, and like a Game Boy or 3DS, Switch, anything, because there's a good chance you'll be left waiting for a long time doing basically nothing, they'll have TV, but how many channels they'll have is a crapshoot, and daytime TV hasn't gotten better since I used to watch it as a kid/teen (if they had just kept airing episodes of Quincy M.E or Buffy, that would have been fine, but they didn't). You'll also not get to eat, so you need something to distract from the ever worsening hunger.
The surgery itself wasn't so bad, hell, I was out for that, but the oxygen mask made my throat and nose dry as FUCK, that shit took days to resolve. After surgery I was in a constant cycle of waking up, drinking a bit of water, then going to take a piss, then going back to my bed to sleep.
I'll have to get the other eye done on Friday, and I'm planning ahead for that.
In Kentaro Miura's memory, here's an original Berserk piece by him, featuring Guts in combat with Zodd The Immortal. The composition and colors are exquisite.
