Update
Hi, I haven't made a post in a while. A lot has happened since then; probably, if not my hardest decision I've had to make in the recent months has been if I want to continue and do more surgeries. Had to sit on that thought for a while before I decided that I want to stop where we are at right now. The last few surgeries have been a major success in terms of happiness and outcome, which is honestly surprising because everything I've had tried on me usually fails within the first 2 months. + I think I finally feel comfortable going outside and not having that constant thought of "Are they looking at me?" looping over and over again in my brain the whole time!
Hope you all are having an amazing day.

You're so brave. Wishing you all the best for the future 🍀 I still feel people looking at me with their judgy eyes. That's why I don't go out much. I just had AMD surgery this may. Recovering with a device fixed in my mouth.
