    Default Final Update on Surgery

    Well, I'm back. The restrictions on no reading or internet have been lifted- good thing, because I've been climbing the walls. The retina is fully reattached and the grey fog is entirely gone from my field of vision. My sight would likely be normal right now but for the fact that I won't be able to wear contacts in the left eye for another six weeks at least. I'm as nearsighted as a bat. I haven't worn glasses in forever, so I'll be picking up a pair soon and then I'll finally be able to leave the house and drive again. Woohoo! Cabin fever is almost as bad as being restricted to nothing but TV watching when I haven't paid any attention to the TV since the days when Smurfs ruled Saturday mornings.

    The eyelid still droops a bit; it was stretched quite severely during surgery and the doctor said it could be another six weeks before the skin resumes its normal position. But at least I don't look like Quasimodo any more. Against my better judgement, I simply had to have a military ID, and the picture will commemorate my sagging eye Quasimodo look until I get the ID replaced this winter. Blech. The eye is still red and a bit icky looking but not nearly as freakish as it was a week ago. All in all, I'm quite pleased. Now if I can just get back to having a life outside of the confines of my house.

    What happened? I'm glad it's fixed, whatever it was. But I can sympathize with not being allowed to read--that would be torture for me!

    Aww Lilith - you have been through A LOT! I remember your original post on your eye and how scary that must have been. I'm glad that all is better. Thx for the update.

    Now Lilith, DO NOT go telling this poor child you got pregnant cause you could not see what was happening at the time. Glad to see you are back in the vision enabled.

    If someone looks funny at your ID, just tell them they should have seen the other guy after the bar fight. If you like them, add "This guy insulted the (Insert branch of person reading id here)." If you don't like them, tell them the insult.

    Well I wasn't here for a day or two so I missed this. Lilith I'm really glad to see you're recovering properly. Didn't have any doubts that you'd be ok!
