So a while back I made a thread why i have mia for so long and my damged eyes were a main cause I had to get stiches in for those who remember well the doctor said it is healing nicely and took part of the stiches out which was the most terrifying experince for me i dont know why but if anything goes near my eyes i freak out and i had to get three numbing shots in my eye to take the stiches out and it took every bit of control i had to sit still while they did it and the shots were extremely painful i was so terrified i was drenched in sweat all over my body but now my eye is partly open and and i can see better than i expected to be able to but we wont really know for sure until we take the rest of the stiches out.

I am very scared to go and do that again but as long as i can get these stitches out I will steel myself and have faith

I wasn't aware that you had eye problems and I am sure that the operation was a bit scary too. I once had to have an eyelid sewn back on after ripping it off with needle nose pliers while working underneath a car. At first I thought that I had severely damaged my eye but the pliers somehow missed the eye itself. After that I wore safety googles when working on cars but that was years ago. Now, I just pay for the repairs because I don't relish the thought of crawling underneath cars with rust and mud showering down on my face. Besides that I feel just too old and tired to deal with car repairs anymore. I pray that God will see you through the rest of this ordeal. Oh yeah, it is nice to see you posting again. You have been missed.

Wow that sounds terrifying God was surely watching out for you. I apolagize for not posting for so long my eye is only now starting to get better but it still strains it to read words so i am not able to read anything very long and everything is always blurry even my keybaord so that doesn't really help but hopefully by the time we get my stitches out it wont be as bad

What was the cause of your eye problem that required stiches?

Before the surgeon reattached my eyelid he said to absolutely remain still. This was on a Sunday afternoon. He was called in specifically operate on me. Young guy, comes in wearing a tank top, shorts, and flipflops. Said I interrupted his tennis game.

After the surgery he said that I may lose a lash or two, and while I could now see clearly I would never have a girlfriend again. Of course, this was when I single and between marriages. The doctor was actually very kind, competent, and comforting.

He was an it was an act of God that I didn't gouge my eye out. He was very much a Christian ophthalmic surgeon. Never did lose a lash. He was wrong about me never having a girlfriend again though but of course, he was just kidding when he said that. Funny guy. Saw him clearly in church the following week.
