I guess most of us don't get the tender loving care as man. We are expected to be strong. Hope your eyes are getting better! I ever had a minor operation to remove a lump near my ear. After remove the stitches, I still had this tube with bottle for discharge of blood for a while. I discovered that my ear still has a long cut that did not heal and had to go back on my own with the bottle of blood still in my hand. My wife did not accompany me too. A man must act like a man and I went back for more stitches while I am fully awake!
