My surgery went fine and my eyes are doing great! I won't lie to you--that surgery was pretty uncomfortable. I will say that I'm sure a lot of that had to do with the fact that I was really scared and therefore very tense, and things are always more uncomfortable when your body is stiff as a board and you're gritting your teeth so hard your jaw hurts! I was given an Ativan to help relax me but for whatever reason, I didn't get it until about 5-7 minutes before I went into surgery, so it didn't exactly have time to kick in. After my surgery I went home and slept for about 3.5 hours (guess the pill finally worked) and after that I felt much better, and since then I've been just fine.
I'm not seeing 20/20 yet but there is still some swelling so hopefully when that goes down my vision will sharpen up. I look a little freaky right now because I have what look like big red blood clots in my eyes from where the suction device caused my blood vessels to break. Coupled with the fact that I'm not allowed to wear eye makeup for a week, I'm no beauty queen. I've been curling my eyelashes but I'm not sure it's really fooling anybody!
While my parents were here this weekend, I went on an enthusiastic thrifting spree. I hadn't been thrifting for several weeks and it was fun to shop with my dad, who shares my love of the thrill of the hunt, as it were. I bought lots of fun stuff but I'll spr
ead it out over my posts this week. Here are just a few finds to get started. I especially love the little glass jar in the front left. It's shape matches some neat old Hazel Atlas jars I found a while ago but it isn't marked. I also love the yellow Hazel Atlas Platonite sugar bowl at the front right. I think it would be cute with some bright flowers poking out of the top. More thrift finds to come!
Yea!! You can see! I think that surgery would be great, I am sick of glasses and contacts, but, I am too scared I think. I can't even do the glaucoma test, because I have a thing about my eyes.
ReplyDeleteI am glad to hear that your surgery went well. You are much braver than I!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I love sugar bowls & that one jsut screams of spring. Also I am really loving all these large lidded jars that are popping up all over blog land! I could use about a 1/2 a dozen to corral my button stash, that currently resides in my aqua Ball jar collection but it over flowing.
what are you going to use yours for?
Great news on your surgery, I'm glad everything is going so well :)
ReplyDeleteI've been on a glass jar journey myself lately. I love showcasing all the prettyness out for everyone to enjoy as well. Great collection you have going so far!
Sooo glad all is going well.
ReplyDeleteI checked in daily... good to hear you were well taken care of too.
I am so about my finds doing double-duty too... looks fun but also holds something! Love storage!
I'm so glad you're doing well. Hopefully the side effects quickly wear off and you are feeling (and seeing) beautifully!
ReplyDeleteWow,i've been trying to comment,and finally when I clear my windows out. Theres your little box! So glad your doing well. My hub had this done several years ago,It was very emotional for him,he said he loved being able to see me when he woke up. My eyesight has always been very good,so its an interesting transformation to watch on someone.
ReplyDeleteFantastic! if I had more guts Id get this done as well...maybe one day!
ReplyDeleteHooray! This is wonderful news! I'm sure you are glad it is over and done.
ReplyDeleteoh good...you're back. I was a little worried. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteSo glad it went well..you are so brave. I wish I could get up the courage to do it!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear your surgery went well. I keep thinking about Lasik but my eyes are so bad already, I worry that a bad surgery might just make them even worse!
ReplyDeleteIn the meantime, I'm glad I got some pretty cool glasses.
