Simply amazing

Its simply amazing how many tears a few lost eyebrows can bring....

OK we all knew I'd loose my hair, including body hair (great! no shaving legs!) but, man the eyes are the hardest...

Back up to July for a minute. I had the double vision cause of the tumor. Have surgery, vision clears. Few weeks later my vision blurs. I assume its a side effect of nerves regening or chemo, complain a bit but not much. Fast forward to November/December. I'm back in the hospital, and they send an opthomologist in to see me. Turns out I have and ulcer on my eye, but the good news is its not infected. So all I need to do is put some ointments in my eye 3 times a day and tape my eye shut for a few days and go back in and see him. Go home from the hospital, pick up the scripts and some tape. First dose in, put tape on and go about radiation and lunch. Get back into the car and take tape off so I can re-tape. Half my eyebrow comes with it. I wanted to cry so hard but didnt.

I got home and had to do the second dose, took the tape off and more eyebrows and lashes came with it. At this rate, by the time I see the opthomologist again tomorrow I'll have no eyebrows on one side, the other side is pretty thin now too. I dont know what I'll do with it being so uneven.... any suggestions?
