In my own opinion, i feel like I’ve adapted to having an eye enucleation  quite well. I think I went through the normal ups and downs, the insecurities, the worrysome nights and so on but now I finally feel comfortable in my own skin.

It has come to a point where now, I don’t even wear an eye patch 90% of the time. People automatically assume that with an eye being removed there is going to be some huge gaping home in your socket — but that’s not true. I’ve heard all of the jokes, “Will I see your brain?” “Can you use the prosthetic eye to play marbles”, “Why not use a bouncy ball for an eye” .. and more. It used to bother be … but one day I just woke up and accepted it all with a grain of salt.

I now find myself blatantly pointing out that I had an eye removed, or need assistance doing something. I’ve noticed a lot of people are more ‘concerned’ than ‘grossed out’ and with me getting it off of my chest right away makes for a less stressful time. No more hiding behind eye patches and dark glasses (unless it’s necessary, of course). I had my eye removed and until I get the prosthetic one I am going to embrace every moment.

With that said, I am going to try to post some new blogs with pictures, and more information on the enucleation surgery itself. I am really hoping to help other people out during such a time as mine.

I thank each and everyone of you fro commenting & reading.
