I think that overall, I'm pretty good about laughing at myself. And since I no longer have any pride (having your husband Nair your legs for you and help you put on underwear after your c-section will do that to you), below is a pic of me today. I had a couple of small styes on my left eyelid. Medicine didn't clear them up, so I had to go under the knife. This entailed needles being shoved into my eyelid to numb it, then he used crazy clamps on my eye to keep it open. And when he was done, he cauterized it. Yuck!
The result? Me in the pic below (seriously, could they have used any more tape?!!). Resembling something I can't quite place. Not quite Sloth from
The Goonies, not quite
Pirates of the Caribbean. My own brand of crazy freak show. Luckily, I can take this off before I have to pick RK up at school. Can you imagine?
Lest you fear, I shall be fine. Some ointment, a few compresses and no makeup for a week and voila, new and improved me!

:( Are you okay? Sounds so painful! I only laughed outloud seeing this pic (before hearing your story) because I have a matching photo but mine was only because I scratched my retina or cornea. I'll have to dig up that photo!
gah! that sounds awful! hope you're recovering well!
Ouch! CJ had one at the same time as you. Thankfully his is better now. You poor thing. A sty is irritating enough but the proceedure sounds just awful. You even make an eye patch look good! I hope you are all better now.
Lovin' all your posts...need my Riley fix! God she is so adorable!!
I hope your squirrel problem is all better too! If anyone can handle these things it's you and Jeff.
