OK, Guys

I am taking as candid as possible pictures as I can so you all can see the real deal. I am sorry for my dramatics, but it's kind of emotionally taxing because it's your face and if it goes bad you can't hide it to easily.

I took the tape off this morning and I am really happy with what i'm seeing today. It has been one full week since surgery and my eyes are healing nicely. I am still anxious for the swelling to go down but I found a support group for people who have had this surgery and they help a lot. LOL, there is a support group for every day thing.

I still have quite a bit of tape burn on my lids and under my eyes and there is swelling and fluid but it looks pretty good.

Also the inside of my eyes look gross, they are yellow and pink and thick looking. It is from the thing she used to hold my eyes open and I hate it but they say it get better pretty quick, **** not quick enough. LOL

See those three tiny bumps under the incision well they are from the tape, and I know because when I took the tape off using alcohol those little suckers burned like hell. Funny thing is you can only see those in this super close pictures, looking in the mirror you can't see them at all.

Seems like once again you are a success. I am sure there will be very few people close enough to see those little bumps. In no time at all the eyes will be clear and beautiful just as planned. Congrats.

Thanks Z

I am just happy it turned out alright. It could have gone bad and that would have been horrible, guess all the praying is paying off. I still have quite a bit of healing to do though.
