8 weeks after surgery just went to the doctor today. Vision has drastically improved and the pressure is at 16 – never thought I would see that number again. Numbness still slowing getting better although he said there is a small place that will always be numb since there is a difficult in that area. He says I can get the other eye done whenever I am ready since it is not as bad as the other but he feels I will still need it. Still have depth perception issues especially with stairs. There are still a lot of unknowns he says as far as what will get better before my next appt. in 3 months. Am very happy so far with results and dr. seems very pleased.

I had my Oribital Decompression done 19 days ago. I thought it would be a lot worse actually. I still have a lot of tearing, some swelling and still some numbness in the face that slowly gets better. My vision has really improved. The bruising is almost all gone. I am just sooo happy to be off the steroids now to lose all the weight. Oh and my nose is I am assuming swollen and always feels stuffy and I just now got the go ahead to lightly blow which really does nothing ahaha.
