Pictures of the Surgified Lana: Start to Finish

We aren't a very picture-happy family, but Kyle did manage to capture a few pictures of me from pre-surgery through post-op recovery. Enjoy!

Obviously I'm so excited. Here we are in the waiting room at 7am, Thursday, Feb. 18th.
I do love these glasses, but I was happy to be rid of them, too.

After my surgery, they wheeled me out where Kyle found me.
My eyes did NOT want to open, so they are closed here,
though you can't tell because of
the massively effective BluBlocker-esque shades they gave me.
Awesome.

At home in my new bed-away-from-my-bed, the recliner. Thanks to Mom & Dad for giving that to us over the summer.
Came in very handy this week.
Yes, I look like a demon b/c my eyes are dilated with intense drops that lasted 48 hours or more. Opening the eyes hurt, again. I think you can see the strain on my face.

First night they gave me these "eye shields" to use.
You actually have to tape them to your face, which is really gross.
But they were comfortable, if you can imagine that.

At my appointment the day after surgery, the doctor gave me these goggles for sleeping.
She is not a fan of the eye shields
and indicated she prefers to give ICL patients the LASIK goggles
for easy sleeping and lack of taping things to your face.

While I do wear them to sleep, I also wear them to watch movies.
Cuts down on the glare, which I'm still getting accustomed to.
I also got to WOW some visitors on Saturday with them.
Leslie, Taylor, Gracie and Nathan stopped by to check in on the invalid.
It was fun to see them (pun intended).

This is how you will typically find us in the evenings and on the weekends:
lounging on the couch, watching Lost or a movie, me in goggles.
I've thoroughly enjoyed the week of required rest.
