Yes, Tammy, He does!
Everything went really well. Except for when I freaked a little when the pre-op nurse explained that I would be awake for part of the procedure. HAHA To be honest, I don't even remember.
I was completely shocked at the almost complete lack of pain. There is no throbbing or anything like that. The only time it hurts, is when I am being expressive. Even then it's just a slight pain. So, I have to stop making faces at the hubs. hehe
I don't look real pretty atm but am exactly where I should be at this point. Although I do have bruising, I expected to have full on black eyes. Of course it could get worse before it gets better. I go back to get my stitches out next Wednesday.
I am so happy I did this. I could tell yesterday after the procedure that I could see better. There is more swelling today so it interferes with my vision. But, it's only temporary.
Again, I can't thank you all enough for your support. This has to be the best group of people on the internet. I can hardly wait to meet you in person in Las Vegas. Be prepared, I am a hugger! LOL

After I was prepped for surgery, they brought hubs back to wait with me. He thought the writing on my forehead coupled with the fact that I had my teeth out was so funny, that he's take a pic. As you can tell from my response in the pic, I was less than enthusiastic. LOL  |

LOL! I just spewed my Starbucks all over my keyboard! I'm so glad you posted this - it was my funny for the day!
You look just like my Mom did after the same surgery. I had to keep ointment on her eyes during post-op to keep it from itching, but otherwise, she had no pain either. Sounds like you are right where you need to be. And just think about how gorgeous you're gonna be!

HHHHMMMM Did it not concern you a wee bit that the surgeon didn't know the difference between the right and left and had to mark it on your face? LOL...GREAT picture and glad everything went well.
