So its been almost 3 weeks since my surgery. The time has gone by so fast! I think I am back to normal pretty much. The bruises from my heperin shots have almost faded. and I am back to doing everything I did before except for heavy lifting. The doctor didn't really say don't do it until my next appointment but hey if it gets me out of stuff I may as take advantage of it right?
A few things I have noticed now that I have gotten used to my freak of nature look:
Its hard to scratch a mosquito bite when you can't feel it. I mean I know its there, I can see it, and it itches like crazy but I can't feel it when I scratch. That is just seriously fucked up!
If I am angry or upset..which lately has been a LOT.... my eye closes smaller and smaller so that I am practically squinting. then my other eye tries to over compensate by matching the squint. By the end of the day i have such a face ache it isn't funny!
If I am angry my scar starts go red and throb. Of course it could be because it is so close to my jugular vein but its still pretty freaky. No one has actually seen it move but I sure can feel it.
I was out for a walk today with the kid in the stroller. Pretty good tunes playing so i was going at a pretty good speed. It was hot out and I was starting to sweat. Funny enough I noticed when i got home, I only sweat on one side of my forehead. I shit you not! Over my normal eye the beads of moisture were starting to run I was sweating so much but nothing on the other side! Great! Now I sweat like a freak!
I wonder.......if I ask the doctor, do you think he would be willing to cut me open on the other side, play with my other sympathetic nerve so that everything is all evened up? matching scars, matching eyes, matching sweat spots. Its a win win situation! LOL
And what fun have you been up to lately?
