Hi Everybody!
First, I am so GRATEFUL to God for allowing me to stumble upon this thread! Secondly, I’m grateful for all of you and the knowledge and encouragement that you’ve shared/offered!
I am scheduled for Orbital Decompression on March 20th (right eye) and March 27th (left eye) and, although I feel like my prayers for being able to look somewhat "normal" have been answered, I’m scared out of my mind!I’m sure this is par for the course but I worry about the pain and, more than anything, I fear that I won’t get the results that I’m hoping for! I keep telling myself that ANY relief from the constant pressure in and around my eyes and having at least some of the swelling and bulging go away will be worth it but, in my heart, I’m hoping for a drastic change and I’m not sure how I will feel if that doesn’t happen.
More than anything, I know that God is watching over me and his desire over my life is all that matters but I can’t help but be a little bit selfish and want back the days of being able to wear pretty eye makeup and actually draw attention to my eyes versus hiding behind sunglasses or trying to wear clothing and accessories that take the focus away from my face!
Sorry for the "downer" post but, for the first time, I feel that I have come across a group of people who actually understand what I’m feeling so the flood gates kinda just opened up! LOL I will remember all of you in my prayers and I’ll keep you posted on my progress, pre and post-op!
