Ahhh.... well kinda. Still pretty sore but at least the stitches are not rubbing on my eyeball anymore.

Last week I had a section of my eyelid removed due to a birth mark that was on the tip of my lid and over the years had grown down a bit. Pretty painless procedure (excluding those shots in my lid... which sucked) and pretty quick (about 40 minutes). Kaiser can't be that bad right...

ok ok here's the pic

I am sorry, but can a mod add a warning to the title that there are pics.... i dont mind it, but i bet some people will be

speedy recovery... ive had surgery on my face also (quite as few times).

I hope you are ok now. We need our head-fi redneck in good condition ; )

 

[anyatinagan]

you sure it was painless? looks a bit painful to me. you should post another picture when it's all healed up

 

[wakeride74]

Thanks for the kind words all, Team Redneck is alive and well

It was a pretty minor thing but what a sensitive area. It did suck trying to play Xbox with one eye afterwards but the Vicodin made me feel better about that

I didn't think the pic was graphic... far less than the 6 o'clock news anyways but if the mods see the need go right ahead.

The procedure did not hurt at all but I was pretty sore for about 3-4 days after. I'll post another pic in a week and it should look almost normal by then.

Gotta agree.while it did not bother me it came as kind of a mini shock since i was not ready for it.

Speedy recovery man but think of the good side....at least you did not have your ears cut off or your headphones would fall off your head there being nothing to stop them from sliding off

 

[nspindel]

Hmmm, I'm having hemeroid surgery, anyone want to see pics?




(just kidding, i don't have hmeroids

)

 

[mrarroyo]

[warubozu]

Yikes, to me that looks painful. Hope you heal up soon and get those stitches out.

Yes the plus side was that I probably spent about 6 hours 2 or 3 days in a row listening to PS-1->Slam combo and keeping both my eyes shut. It sure does make you focus and hear the music to the full that way.

warubozu - thanks, had to get it done before I head your way next month my friend

I am glad to hear you are feeling well. It probably looks worst than it feels. I wish you a very speedy and painless recovery. Your eyelid appears to have some ointment on it, which might intensify the look of things just a bit.
