Today, I went out in public for the first time since the surgery. Since my whole family and Dave's whole family was going out to dinner, I didn't want to stay home alone! I admit, it was pretty scary and I was very self conscious. I debated on wearing the patch or just going bloody eye commando, and decided on the latter, which was less conspicuous. I thought we were just going to a sit down place, but we got there after it closed, so we ended up going to a Chinese buffet. Which was a little more movement and interaction than I thought.
But it was still a good time. We had a lot of good laughs at the expense of my eye. At first they were thinking of making One Eyed Estacio sit in front of a wall since no one wanted to see the evil eye. But later, Fatima said it didn't look really bad, just like I got into a really bad fight.
But it was nice to be out. Nice to see sunlight and experience a beautiful sunset.
Dan came over with Claudine today. Didn't think he'd be squeamish about the eye, but he was! He took a couple pictures of the eye, so I'm sure it'll end up on his site sooner or later, so any of you who are curious about how the eye is looking, swollen tissue and all, check out his site in the next couple of days. Funny thing is, the most disturbing thing about my eye to him isn't the blood or lumpiness, it's the fact that they cut off my eyelashes! :-P

But is your eye beginning to look a little better? Going in the right direction at least??

I'm glad you got to go out for dinner. It sounds like you are doing better.
