Title: A most unflattering picture...(Horner's Syn)
Post by Melissa on May 5^th, 2006, 6:16pm

of me, but I had to show everyone just how much CH's have affected my appearance. Look at my right eye (my affected side) in the pic below (that's me on the right along with my hubby and Godson after he got baptized in Feb.). It was taken about a month after my last cycle ended. It's amazing how much I look like Chunk's buddy from the Goonies that got dropped on his head when he was a baby :-[...http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v708/mfiltz/horners.jpg

(btw, I don't usually look like that bad, LOL)

Oh gee, thanks Jonny :P

Langa, it shocked the hell outta me to see myself like that, as I had never had it in a photograph before. I might have caught myself a couple times in the mirror while in cycle, but it never looked THAT bad. :-/

Ah well, what's a gal to do?

You mean little trees don't usually grow out of your shoulder, caribou don't usually hide in your hair, and Jesse usually doesn't have moose slurp the wax out of his ear???

I think you look lovely also, Mel.

I now have a permanent, but slight, droop - only truly visible in pics. My hubby says it gives me "character."

I say "forget character - give me two eyes the same size!"

Of course, I'd also like to have two boobs the same size ....

Rich, Charlotte & Kris, thank you so much! I am not upset about the way I look though, just a bit startled.

you still look nice mel. And you aren't alone- it shows in my pics too, and my kids always say, um mom, you're eye is drooping........and I am 5 months out of cycle.

You never looked better than the day I walked into the smoking room and saw your face, Mel.......it was a bonus to the convention I just left.

It made leaving the family a little easeir talking to you!

Now, go polish your shiny.....LOL :-*

Sorry Mel. It hard to garner much sympathy with such a nice picture. I needed the explanation.

Hey Mel,

You didn't have to tell us what the problem was! All you had to say was "the person behind the camera had lousey timing, and caught you just after a blink ;;D ;;D
