I feel like I have been doing well coping with the loss of my eye however, wearing the eye patches seems to make me feel more insecure than anything.

I find without my patch it still looks like I still have an eye there, it’s just red. There is a piece of plastic called a conformer in there to help hold the shape of my socket / lid and eith it’s shape, and being clear it just looks like I had an eye that has a broken blood vessel, or the likes.

I don’t wear an eye pacth 99.9% of the tiem whe I am home or around family / friends but the other day I ahd to go to a bridal shower and I fel as though everyone was staring at me. It makes me really insecure. I think I’d almost rather nothave the pacth because to me it seems less noticeable.

On another note: One month from Friday and I’ll have a shiny new prosthetic eye in there. I sure hope that month flies. I am kind of getting tired of waiting.
