Re: A shocking and depressing news!
I've always felt allot worse for people that went nearly or totally blind in later life, especially when allot of surgery was involved,
I lost all of my site when I was about 5 I think, before that one eye was way worse than the other. I also had a ton of surgeries, eye patches, medications with powerful side effects, and painful checkups.
But I don't remember any of it, thankfully.
I'm curious, what did the nurse do to mess up your first eye, and why was she doing anything near there anyway?
This puppet feeling you describe is disturbing, I've never heard any of my friends, of which I have many, that have had prosthetic eyes since birth say this, but of course they wouldn't remember either.
When you say puppet do you mean how you believe you look, in your mind, to other people? or is it an actual feeling of the area being dead, because I've heard of that happening and I wouldn't want to go through something so tra
umatic.
I've heard of phantom pain and such, but I'd imagine that the feeling of a missing body part with such a direct connection to the brain for a while right after surgery would be extremely upsetting, and I'm sorry to hear that you are going through this.
Even if it is just in your mind, I'd imagine that it would be very depressing and pervasive in every day life, at least for a while.
So I hope you have people that can help you with that, councilors and psychologists, as well as friends and family, because it will help to make that feeling go away after a while much faster than it would if you have to deal with it all on your own.
They can give you medicine that may be able to help you with your depression, like they did for me. It's much better than it used to be a couple of decades ago, and has barely any side effects unless you need something super strong.
If you are religious, then I suggest you also take comfort in
worship and the church community, which really seems to help in times of great need.
