finally some good news, my eye is healed from the original surgery. last week i had a scare about day 3 of my resting (did i mention my doctor CAME TO MY HOUSE to check on me??? amazing!) he said there was a small area that wasn't healing fast enough and he was worried about it... i would describe the whole process of what they do to treat retinal detachment and the recovery but so far no one can stomach my description... lets just say i had a window of opportunity to be healed and if that window closed i would need a second bigger procedure in the hospital.
the next day (after almost 24 hours laying down) the doctor said i had improved enough and was allowed to continue with emily's birthday party the following day, as long as i rested before and after. my parents and chris had to do 90 percent of the setup because i literally could not see out of my left eye the entire time. i am happy to say that yes, you can actually put on a rather large and complicated birthday party with only one eye! just in case you ever need to.
my mom made these clown tops for the girls, a nice touch
