[blparent] surgury

[Shannan Zinck]

Hey everyone been a long time. This has been a pretty rough year for me.
Wondering If anyone here has had an eye removed while parenting a 2 year
old.  I'm supposed to have emergency surgury which could take anywhere from
2 weeks to 3 months to happen though the sooner the better. My son
understands enough to be careful not to touch my face (extremely painful if
he does) but, he is a toddler and a super active one at that. Also
wondering what if anything I can to to ease the headaches and nasuea until
they get around to taking the eye out. Is there a patch that is more
comfortable or something. I've tried the soft concave ones but, they put
too much pressure on my eye, the eye itself is so pressured that it sticks
out past the bone above it. Not pretty for sure. The plastic ones are near
impossible to get here and sunglasses are too dark for me. Not having much
luck. I discovered that the drops they put me on for pain raise the
pressure in my eye so concerned about using them. Also what's the recovery
like length discomfort and all that. Haven't had surgury in 20 years so a
lot has changed since then.  I haven't been able to do much with my son for
the past few months because I'm alway feeling lousey. He's being a great
sport about all this but, I'd like to find creative ways to spend time with
him that don't require much physical activety. Sorry I haven't been around
much just doing the bare min until things calm down. The computer hurts my
eyes if on too long so don't get to read much anymore. thanks.
