was told to give up asprin for 2 weeks prior. appointment was at 8:00 am they took me in and prept me. just before they started they gave me shots around my eyes to numb around my eyes.(this was the worst part). Dr. Sajjadian's assistant told me to go to my happy place... I told her I was already there! As they were working on me they were talking to me, asking me if I felt anything, if I was doing alright. etc... my eyes were closed the hole time, and didn't feel a thing. At the end he stiched me up and covered around my eyes with tape. (I think this was so I didn't use the muscles around my eyes too much). Was given a perscription for pain pills and antibiotics. My wife and I went and filled the perscriptions, She drove me home and I layed down in like a reclyner position. My eyes burned a little, but not bad... the first day, but after that I was fine. I just rested the rest of the weekend and by monday I was feeling good enough to go back to work. I wore sun glasses the first couple days, but then I decided my co-workers were going to have to get used to it, and took them off. Went back to Dr. Sajjadian about 12 days later and had the stiches removed (this was painful) but went quick. Been to see him for follow ups and things are looking good.
