Feeling sad during surgery healing
I got surgery for my Exotropia 5 days ago. While I’m happy I did it, I’m still sad. Healing is taking a bit of a toll on me. My eyes being red and over correct is making me a little less confident. I know it will all go away in a few weeks, but for some reason it’s still bothering me. I’m also still having double vision that the doctor told me would go away in 4-5 days. My eyes also decreased in size. They used to be big and pretty, now they’re smaller. I’m worried they won’t go back to their large size after healing. I haven’t been able to get out of the house much and I’m just feeling down and isolated. Has anyone else ever felt like this before?
