~3 month update: before and after!

My birthday from August 2025 and now this august 2026! My eyes are so much more aligned I almost cried at how happy I am with taking photos. I swear it was extremely obvious I don't even think that before photos does it justice!!

Got my surgery in May 2026 and it's now August 2026. If anything i think he overcompensated a bit and my eye goes in a little but it's very very slight and much improved from what I had before!

From thinking I killed it, to my first harvest!!!

Pink Berkeley tie dye! SoCal.

So damn excited for my first tomato ever!!! Just picked today, Aug. 10th. Letting it ripen on the counter after first blush but letting others stay on so I can compare!

1 Week Post Op: Makeup? Weightlifting? Etc.

Hey y'all! I am exactly one week post op. I had surgery 5/27/26 and today is 6/4/26. My eye is still quite red but it feels so much better! I only got surgery done on my left eye.

For those who wear makeup, when did you start wearing it again? I feel like I'm ready honestly but I'm thinking of giving it another week.

And for those who exercise, when did you start doing high cardio workouts? Or weightlifting? I want to start getting my heart pumping again but I'm nervous to hurt my eye!

Also reached out to my Dr but waiting to hear back. Would love to know the general consensus is!
