Im getting nervous ....

Im having a chalazion on my eyelid drained on friday morning and after watching youtube vids,which i now wish i hadnt!im getting nervous
Has anybody had this procedure done? and will i be ok for work by saturday late shift?
Thanks x

 

Never had it (never even *heard* of it ... and no, I won't be YouTube-ing it ) so can't answer your query about working Saturday but ...


... positive vibes being sent your way

 

Like @"M" I've not heard of this before - and definitely won't be YouTubing it either! - but good luck and I hope it goes well and you have a quick recovery

 

Thank you Ladies x
Its not bad,just a bit of a lump in my eyelid,blocked duct the doc calls it prob caused by dry eyes,just a pain when im trying to look upward so it needs to vacate
I wont post the video if they let daz record then x

 

Blimey, @joolz68 your eye lump gets to vacate and I can't even afford to vacate!
Bagsy be your eye lump (? just for the vacation? )
Yay, let Daz record it ... remember the love song? Memories are made of this

 

With a garden like yours you need go nowhere
He will no doubt be puking in the corner,im just glad it not child birth! Ouch!

 

Your right it does look a bit nasty.
but as long as you dont feel anything its probably looks worse than it feels.

Would imagine it could be pretty sore afterwards, but eyes do seem to heal themselves pretty fast.
But then, what do i know?????

Hope it goes well for you though.

 

Cheers pete x....Did you watch the video
I hope they offer me gas & air!

 

I hate dentists.
Giving birth isn't all it's cracked up to be either!

So, one thing I've done during those times is to totally distract my mind from what is happening by focussing on something completely different.

For me, it is numbers So, I focus on numbers/number games - initially with a huge focus on the letters NUMB.

If there is something you can mentally visualise easily, then I suggest you focus on that while the procedure is taking place. It has to be worlds apart from what you are experiencing, but, it can be a huge blessing

 

No they just creep up behind you with a big mallet.
After the first blow you feel nothing, until you wake up.
The pounding headache then takes your mind of the problem with your eye.

 

I've not heard of it either Joolz. You'll be fine on Friday I'm sure.

 

That procedure i could handle!

 

I 'YouTubed' it ....

You'll be fine Joolz ...

 

You're used to someone creeping up behind you and hitting you with a mallet?
Please!
Your personal "preferences" should be just that: personal and private

 

I'd never heard of it either so I did google (video) search it. Once I'd got through the first 20 seconds (needles freak the living shino out of me) it looked cool - no biggie from what I saw. You'll be fine and after a day or three the discomfort will be gone
