[blparent] surgury

Yeah, I thought about mentioning heat also instead of just cold.  Really you 
have to try each to know which will work.  And some days one does and other 
days the other does.  Who can tell.

Shannon,

I would definitely recommend getting drops to lower the pressure while you
wait. In my experience with my own glaucoma (which could of course be very
different from yours) that was the number one pain reliever.

I've also had success with warm compresses over the eye. fill a sock with
rice, knot it, dampen, and stick in the microwave for a minute or so.

Good luck. I hope they can do it soon as I understand your pain.
