Eye Surgery! Ouch! But Independence is Worth The Pain

I've had two eye surgeries in the last 10 months, and take it from me when I say they are no fun!

The first one I had was in March 2011, and it was to decompress my eyes -- both of them!

I had a brain tumor in 2005 and had thyroid disease, and both caused my eyes to protrude from their sockets. It looked ugly, but more importantly it cause my eyes discomfort as too much air was getting to them. I also had a slight case of double vision. I was no longer able my car. I was at the mercy of others for transportation. No fun!
