Unforgettable Memory In My Life

This could be my last post of 2017


21st February 2017.

Alexandria, Egypt.

6.30 p.m.

After Maghrib Prayer.

          I went to an eye clinic with my sister. We went there by taxi cost 20LE. My inner self become disorganized. Afraid. Happy. Tremble. I heard so many cases happened after the surgery, even, my sister had to undergo second surgery due to first surgical failure. My sister's friends undergo a very hard time in her life where she needs to wear the spectacles in her life and can't undergo any eye surgery.

I passed my second test

          I wait for 10 minutes to register myself and wait for another 20 minutes for doctor to call my name. 20 minutes passed. The doctor's assistant ask me to sit and check either I can undergo the surgery or not. Alhamdulillah passed. I had been asked to go to the other room for the next test. Again, I passed. I have been given a set of surgical suite from head to toe and put in on my body. The doctor in charge, DR. Imad, the same doctor during my sister's surgery asked me to calm myself and don't be afraid cause when I feel afraid, the surgery might be canceled.

          The doctor's assistant call my name and my sister assisted me in. I need to lie down on a bed, my arm had been locked and my head too, I can't move my head at all. The doctor put some fluids on my eyes and he set up a machine then put it on my eyes so now, guest what happen? I could not even blink my eyelid! That machine caused my eyes to open continuously so that the doctor can start the surgery. My fear come as the doctor said " Say Bismillah and I will start the surgery soon ".

          After the doctor said that, I smell a scent where there is something being burned besides my head, I smell that. My fear increase. Start. I heard the machine's sound means that, the machine is ready to do it's job, thinning my cornea so that I could see the world without spectacles anymore.The surgery went on for a total of 5 minutes only, my body asked me to run away but I couldn't, cause my head had been locked and I have machine sticks on my eyes.

The surgery done. I have hollow spectacles on my eyes. My vision still blur and unclear. My sister hold my hands and we walk together. My eyes feel a bit itchy but I can't touch my eyes for three days and I also can't put any kind of fluids on my eyes. I have to meet the doctor again a day, a week and a month after surgery.

Before entering the operation theatre

You know my feeling, wearing spectacle for almost 14 years with those thick lens on my eyes. I even once pray that I want my eyes back, I want to see clearly without anything. I can't even feel how see the world s without spectacles cause I wear the spectacles since my childhood, I thanked to Allah cause gives me this opportunity to see his beautiful world again and thanks to my parents cause give their permission and trust to me to fly to Egypt alone and done this surgery. Now, almost one year I could see all the things without spectacles and this will be my unforgettable memory in my life.

I have a friend asked me if I undergo plastic surgery cause my face looks very different before and after wearing spectacles.
