Apparently the surgery was a success. "Couldn't have gone better." At least that is what they are telling me.I don't know. I still have double vision. At least I do when I can see out of my right eye that is.
In order to help with healing, with the exception of one small section, they have sewed my eye shut. The appointment for removing the stitches is tomorrow so we will see how my vision is once I can see with both eyes again.
One of the side effects of having my eye stitched shut is that the stitches cause my my eye to weep all the time. With the weeping comes the crud that forms in the corners and along the bottom of the eye. if it doesn't form into crud, it runs down that side of my face. All in all it is not a lot of fun and I cant wait for the stitches to come out.
The other problem with all this weeping and crusting is having a goatee. All the crud and the goo ends up in there. I scrubbed and scrubbed trying to get keep it clean but it proved to be way to much work. So for the first time in close to 20 years, it is gone.
Don't know if I like the look.
Edie hasn't seen me yet.
The last time I took it off Maddie was very young and she fell on the ground laughing and pointing at me.
I am hoping for a more positive response this time.
We will see.
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his ways
And no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change
(Man In The Mirror Michael Jackson)
