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 ;D

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.
