I'm having eye surgery tomorrow. UPDATE

This should be the final one.
Gonna go into my right eye and attempt to clear out all the floaters that have been interfering with my vision since my cataract surgery last year. If successful I should be able to see well enough to begin driving again.
It'll take place at the Indianapolis Veteran's Administration hospital. They're pretty competent people there, and have been patient and careful with me. Still, it's hard to not get butterflies- if it's NOT successful I could permanently lose the sight in that eye.
Vibes wouldn't hurt.
Update: I went through a whole lot of hassle to find a driver for this expedition, and did a search for a decent hotel for a couple days (we didn't want to stay in a no-tell motel), got here and checked to our room, and then called the hospital at the appointed time to get my tee time for tomorrow. Only to receive the word from the nurse that I had been bumped from the surgery schedule. New date: the 7th of NEXT MONTH.
She swore she called and left a voice message on my phone. I played my messages three times but didn't hear such a message.
I'm afraid I got a little bit nasty with her. I didn't really mean to, but when it came down to it I told her what I thought of the situation. A few hours later I feel a bit bad about it, but damn. It screwed up the schedules of more than just one person, and cost me precious gas money. I was NOT a happy camper.
So I'll collect and save all your vibes and use them next month. Unless they bump me again...
= new reply since forum marked as read
I think you're going to be fine........fingers crossed!
I want you to be able to function normally again, so much.
Do let us know, when you can.......OK?
Lotsa good vibes to you, it'll be over before ya know it. 
Hope everything goes perfectly and you are back to driving very soon!
You'll be in my prayers tonight friend.
and my best wishes for a speedy recovery!
I wish I could get that surgery. I think it will go "swimmingly" for you and what a relief to be rid of floaters! Good luck.

I think you were entirely right about your tone of voice with this person. Maybe she called the wrong number, or worse, maybe she really didn't call.
I'm so so sorry.
So, October 7th is your new surgery date. I'll remember.
They had better remember it too.
til then you hang in there my friend.
More time to worry...... will be thinking bout you and sending only but fantastic and positive thoughts for this operation.
I would bet that some random person has a message on their machine.
