Day four

I know I'll have to come up with something besides 'Day X', just not feeling creative today.

So anyway, I'm at this point in my recovery where I'm kinda weak, and the pain's not really that bad.  I know that I need to get some strength back, but my eye keeps leaking (as in, a combo of blood and tears run out of it) if I try to do anything even remotely strenuous.  

I guess this is the boring phase of getting better.

Plus, I look like some kind of horrific Halloween monster right now.

I know!  I'll post some pics and let you see how it looks...  

Here's a couple of how it looked before the surgery.  

You can see the grey, which was the calcium deposits which were giving me such grief. 

Well, that eye is gone daddy gone.  No more trouble with that one.  

And to be honest, whatever pain I have now is not really that big a deal.  The pain before was a lot worse.

Everybody I talked to before I had this procedure done said stuff like, "Yeah, after you have it done, you'll be wondering 'Why did I wait so long before I had this done, this is so much better...'".  And they were right.

Now for some horror show shots.

Here I'm pulling up my left eyelid...I think it's strange that there's no bruising there; maybe because it's my eyelid?

Every pic I took of myself has this thing where my face looks really long...there's certainly no satisfying symmetry, is there? 

So that's it for today.  

There will be more to come, as I get the stitches out, and get the prosthetic eye, etc.
