Unveiled

My view of the world has changed; I mean this in the most literal sense.  For a while I was thinking that it was my bandage that was obstructing my view.  It was getting on my nerves so I pulled it off this morning.  I then realized that the obstruction was the new shape of the bridge of my nose, combined with residual swelling.  This is even more annoying now!  It's inescapable!  Until the swelling subsides, at least.
I must have been 12 or so when I loved the soap opera "The Young and the Restless."  A character named Eve, I believe, had a scar that ran across her cheek about 2 inches.  Her devastation was irritating.  She was clearly a beautiful woman despite this minor flaw.  I would do just about anything to trade in this thing for a 2-incher across my cheek.  Eve got off easy!
So here I am with no bandage.  You better believe I'm going to post a bunch more photos of myself as I look better!
