I don't know what your eye is made of, but it closes right up afterward. It's like putting a spoon in applesauce and pulling it out again.

The skin-cancer surgery was far more traumatic -- blood, stitches, aftercare. But frankly that's really not that big a deal either.

Now I want to know what the eyeball is made up of.  LOL

Here you go:

From Wikipedia:
The vitreous humor contains no blood vessels, and 98-99% of its volume is water (as opposed to only 75% in the cornea). In addition to water, the vitreous consists of salts, sugars, vitrosin (a type of collagen), a network of collagen type II fibrils with glycosaminoglycan, hyaluronan, opticin, and a wide array of proteins. Despite having little solid matter, the fluid is substantial enough to fill the eye and give it its spherical shape. The lens, on the other hand, is tightly packed with cells.[2] The vitreous humour has a viscosity two to four times that of water, giving it a gelatinous consistency.

It's practically jelly

Hiya BetterMost friends!

I hope that everyone is relaxing and enjoying a three-day weekend!

had to do some scraping this morning, but it wasn't too bad.  Travel to work was the usual time and then I have bowlling tonight.

Well, thanks!

They they roll you into the OR, give you some relaxing medication intravenously, and put something on your eye to hold it open.

Hunh. You must have one of those fancy internet gadgets I've heard so much talk about. 

I wondered myself, but somehow it was one of the few things that's ever crossed my mind in the last decade or so where I got curious but didn't think to look it up.

But if I'm watching a movie and the actor playing the janitor looks vaguely familiar and I wonder where else I've seen him, I'm right on it!

Yes, and then they made me watch really violent movies while also taking a drug that made me sick, and now I've totally lost the urge to beat people up.

Heh. Movies or TV shows. They never show credits like they used to. Even if the actor playing the janitor doesn't look vaguely familiar--maybe he's just cute and you want to know who he is--thank Heaven for the Internet, Wikipedia, and IMDb!

Family drama can keep life entertaining, can't it?

I won't get into  it, but you haven't seen a wake/funeral until you've gone to an Italian wake/funeral.
