Today I noticed that the incision at the left side of my nose is completely healed. Even as I looked into a magnified mirror I could not detect where the incision had been made--a testament to the skill of the surgeon (Dr. Craig Birgfeld) and the miracle of the human body to heal.
The three other incisions--one above and below the eye and the third inside the mouth above the lip--appear to be progressing well and healing without complication at this point. Vision is less than ideal--I wish I were able to go steelhead fishing with my brothers tomorrow, but somehow I don't think my casting would be very accurate! Besides, they'd have to interrupt their fishing every time I needed to tie on a new fly since I haven't gotten back yet the necessary visual acuity to thread the line through the eye of a hook.
I visited Dr Rob today, and he looks surprisingly well for all he has gone through - he even had his sense of humor! Although, he kept his eyes closed while I was chatting with him, not sure if he was sleeping cause I was so boring or had to rest his eye! I'm going with the latter option....
