After yesterday's follow-up with the surgeon, I have been given permission to ride a bike (!) so presumably the hoovering clause is now null and void. I just have to avoid blows to the head and I must not, under any circumstances, rub my right eye. Still on two-hourly eye drops (steroids every 2, antibiotics every 4). Pupil remains very dilated as atropine is used during the surgery and takes at least a week to wear off. and this will be causing most of the fuzziness at the moment. Once it shrinks down to normal size I should have pretty good vision, certainly up to driving standard in the "new" eye. You can't tell how good it's eventually going to be until six months have elapsed, it's all knitted together, the swelling has gone and the scar tissue has hopefully clarified. Given that most people can apparently see bugger all through a corneal graft for a month or so, it's incredible. And yes, I am grateful to whoever's slice of cornea is now implanted in mine...it will hopefully outlive them by another 40 years or so.
